Cre8 Enterprise Limited, a Hong Kong-based integrated financial printing service provider, has successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 1,450,000 Class A ordinary shares at $4.00 per share, raising approximately $5.8 million. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 23, 2025, under the ticker symbol "CRE" [1].

The company plans to use the net proceeds for upgrading its office in the Central district of Hong Kong. Additionally, the funds will be allocated towards expanding business operations, increasing workforce and staff training, upgrading and/or acquiring equipment and information technology systems, and for general working capital [1].

Cre8 Enterprise Limited provides 24/7 integrated financial printing services for listed companies, IPO applicants, and private companies in the finance and capital market in Hong Kong. The services cover concept creation and artwork design, typesetting, proofreading, translation, printing, binding, logistics arrangement, uploading or making e-submissions of customers’ financial reports and compliance documents, and media placements. The company has also expanded its offerings to include complementary design services such as website design, branding, and content creation for marketing materials. Moreover, it is now providing technological support to its customers by disseminating and publishing announcements, circulars, financial reports, and industry news feeds through a website of its "Cre8IR" brand [1].

The IPO represents a relatively modest capital raise compared to typical Nasdaq listings, which may reflect the company's specialized position as a Hong Kong-based financial printing service provider. The $5.8 million proceeds will be strategically allocated towards several growth initiatives [1].

The offering structure includes a 45-day option for underwriters to purchase an additional 217,500 shares (representing 15% of the initial offering) at the IPO price, which could potentially increase total proceeds if exercised. American Trust Investment Services served as the lead underwriter, with Prime Number Capital as co-underwriter on this firm commitment offering [1].

For a financial printing service provider, achieving a Nasdaq listing represents both a significant milestone and a potential credibility enhancement with clients who themselves may be pursuing capital market activities. The SEC filing was declared effective on July 22, with the final prospectus filed July 23, indicating a smoothly executed regulatory process [1].
