Know before investing

Strengths Risks
The HR staffing sector in the country is highly fragmented, with five large companies controlling 12% of the market, resulting in high growth prospects. Although fragmented, the staffing industry is highly competitive, impacting the company’s future cash flow.
The company leverages technology to offer paperless onboarding using advanced software. The company had recorded losses in the past, experiencing negative cash flow arising from the operation, investing, and financial activities.
They have an established track record of organic and inorganic growth. Investors applying for the IPO must understand that the business is subject to extensive government regulations, which might impact the company’s ability to provide certain services.
