An end-to-end look at how buying and selling unlisted and pre-IPO shares works on PreStocks — from finding a company to holding shares in your own demat account.
Browse companies by sector and check indicative pricing, valuation, and IPO status on the companies directory.
Each company page covers business overview, financial performance, key investors, and IPO status — read this before deciding how much to allocate. See how to research a pre-IPO company.
Verification covers PAN, Aadhaar, and your Demat Client Master Report (CML) — required before any order can be placed, in line with standard KYC regulations.
Choose your quantity for a company with available seller inventory. Orders are subject to seller availability and minimum lot-size terms for that company.
Your payment is held in an independent bank escrow account and is released to the seller only once your share transfer is confirmed — it is never paid out upfront.
Shares move via an off-market DIS/e-DIS transfer directly into your own CDSL or NSDL demat account — the same account you use for listed shares.
Once shares are credited, they show in your demat holdings statement like any other security. Company pages are updated as new pricing and status information becomes available.
To exit before a company lists, you list your shares for sale and, once a buyer is found, transfer them off-market via DIS the same way a purchase is settled. Exiting depends on finding a buyer — there is no guaranteed daily liquidity the way there is for listed shares.
Unlisted and pre-IPO shares are illiquid, valuations can move in either direction, and IPO timelines can shift or be cancelled. See our Risk Disclosure before investing.
