Capital Pathways · LEAP Market
Prepare your enterprise for a public-market conversation.
The LEAP Market is Bursa Malaysia’s adviser-driven market for emerging companies and SMEs, accessible to sophisticated investors. iPivot helps companies assess the pathway, close readiness gaps and prepare for engagement with the required Bursa-approved advisers.
Important role boundary
iPivot prepares and coordinates. The approved adviser leads the listing.
iPivot’s registration with the Securities Commission Malaysia is limited to operating an equity crowdfunding platform. iPivot does not represent that it is licensed or approved to provide investment banking, dealing, fund management, investment advice, principal advisory, approved advisory or other regulated capital-market services outside that ECF scope. iPivot may provide general enterprise-readiness support and coordination. Where a matter requires a licensed, registered, approved or otherwise appropriately authorised adviser or professional, that work must be undertaken under a separate appointment by the relevant independent firm. A LEAP applicant must separately appoint a Bursa Malaysia-approved adviser to assess suitability and undertake the formal admission work. A continuing adviser must also be maintained for the applicable post-listing period. iPivot does not make the admission decision or guarantee listing, fundraising or market performance.
Readiness Workstreams
Six foundations for a credible journey.
A public-market pathway is more than fundraising. It requires evidence, disclosure discipline, governance and the right professional team.
Governance gaps
Governance and leadership
Strengthen board, management, ownership, internal controls, conflicts management and decision-making discipline.
Financial evidence
Financial readiness
Organise financial records, forecasts, working-capital assumptions, taxation matters and a defensible valuation narrative.
Data-room order
Corporate records
Review statutory records, licences, material contracts, intellectual property, litigation and related-party matters.
Disclosure narrative
Equity story and disclosure
Develop a balanced investment proposition supported by risks, evidence, milestones and credible public-company communication.
Adviser-ready
Adviser coordination
Prepare for engagement with a Bursa-approved adviser and other appropriately licensed or qualified professionals.
Indicative Journey
From strategic fit to adviser-led execution.
The sequence varies by company. Formal suitability assessment remains with the Bursa-approved adviser.

Growth enterprise
Who may explore it
Malaysia-incorporated growth companies and SMEs, including eligible companies with foreign operations, may explore LEAP subject to prevailing requirements and adviser assessment.
Sophisticated capital
Who may invest
LEAP is designed for sophisticated investors as defined under the applicable Malaysian capital-market framework; it is not a retail-investor market.
Public-market discipline
Where it may lead
For suitable companies, LEAP can support public-market discipline and longer-term capital options. Any later progression remains subject to separate prevailing requirements.
