Not a step by step guide, but this book tells his story which covers it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anyone-Can-Do-My-Story/dp...

I enjoyed it.

What do you have in mind when you mean taking a company public?

Simply bringing in an outside investor - angel investor, VC, private equity etc?

Or a private placement/full share issue to members of the public?

I took my company public on AIM, made lots of mistakes, made some good decisions, learnt a hell of a lot. Always like to help fellow entrepreneurs. Happy to discuss over PM.
