How long does a reverse merger take?

Reverse mergers are often faster than IPOs or direct listings, with timelines averaging 4–5 months if the private company is prepared. This speed is one of the primary attractions for founders eager to unlock the benefits of being public.

The misconception is that reverse mergers happen “overnight.” While quicker, they still require careful preparation: audits, SEC filings, disclosures, and governance updates. Cutting corners in the name of speed leads to compliance problems and credibility damage.

Meraki Partners balances speed with quality. We keep projects moving aggressively but never at the expense of proper diligence. By aligning all parties early, we prevent wasted time and ensure every step builds toward a strong public structure.

The result is efficiency with integrity. Our clients consistently achieve public status in under a year, fast enough to seize opportunities, but structured to support long-term success.
