I have 20 corporations that I cannot take to IPO. Several have market caps over 200M SC$. I have one that has been around for 15 game years and a market cap over 300M SC$. This is seriously impacting my ability to expand my economy. I used to be able to take a corp public once market cap exceeded 10M SC$. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

The assets of this corporation are too low for an IPO.

its not market value, its assets, try raising the months of stock in the corp, and/or raising the cash level

Assets above 100b I believe is the number to shoot for. And also profits over the last 12 months.

Thanks for the advice Orbiter and Treasurer. My assets have been stuck right around 90b. Maybe that is the issue. Now, is there any way to increase the months of stock in just one corp by changing one setting or is my choice to increase each product indivdually or change the settings for all corps at once?

I just increase the cash level to get past the 100b asset value required.

The next game month I'm usually able to IPO.

FAB......look at your cash level and as long as you are able to add at least 10-15b then you will get your 90B up past 100B.

You should be able to do this most of the time for new corps between 14B and 20B value. Sometimes lower if you are active enough.

Sometimes I'm not on often enough and miss out when the asset level drops below 100B again after a couple of game months LOL

mac cash is 75b, supplies should take u the rest of the 100b needed for the ipo to take place.

Max the cash using Profit/Cas/Debt tab on your corporations screen. Scroll to the corp that needs it and enter "75,000" in it and scroll down and hit "Transfer Funds"

That will do it.

My number one rule is to max the cash on any corp I am taking public right before the IPO. It is smart to do so.

Thanks guys. That seems to have done the trick.

OK guys. Getting assets over 100B worked for most of my corps. I now have one, however, with assets of 106B and the system still won't let me go to IPO. Got any other ideas? Thanks.

Profits over the last 12 game months.

Also max game cash seems to be 60b now. So have fun IPO'ing.

I think this problem was eliminated with another adjustment of the programming. I have a lot of corps I can IPO without difficulty.
