			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.angieslist.com">Angie&#8217;s List</a> has built a platform for consumers to review all kinds of home improvement services.</p>
<p>Now, the company will face its own public scrutiny, starting as soon as Thursday.</p>
<p><a href="http://gaskinsco.com/linkto-aa-include-iporated-calendar-101.shtml"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-139545" title="angieslist-logo" src="http://allthingsd.com/files/2011/11/angieslist-logo.png" alt="" width="285" height="60" />According to IPO watchers</a>, the Indianapolis-based firm is one of nine companies that are anticipating going public this week.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Angie&#8217;s List said <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20111102/angies-list-may-raise-up-to-131-million-in-ipo/">it planned to sell</a> about 8.8 million shares at $11 to $13 apiece to raise as much as $114 million. Including overallotments, that could increase to $131.5 million.</p>
<p>At the high end of its price target, the company will be valued at $722 million, based on 55.6 million outstanding shares after the offering.</p>
<p>The company will trade on the Nasdaq market under the symbol ANGI.</p>
<p>Angie&#8217;s List is similar to Yelp in that consumers use it to review services, ranging from home improvement to physicians. However, you must be a paying member to read the reviews.</p>
<p>The company, which estimates it will bank $66.4 million to $81.1 million in the IPO, will spend the proceeds on advertising strategy to drive membership growth and for general working capital.</p>
<p>Angie&#8217;s List charges $6.80 a month to receive both home and health and wellness reviews, plus an additional $10 sign-up fee. If users sign up for a year or more, the sign-up fee is waived. One year costs $62.40; four years costs $164.80.</p>
<p>Yelp is reportedly working with bankers and <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204190704577026140347386380.html">is moving closer to an IPO next year</a>.</p>
