FREMONT, CA: An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a way to raise funds by offering shares of a private corporation to the public. It is the first sale of a company’s stocks to the public investor. For small companies, IPO creates a medium to generate the capital flow to grow or expand. IPO is also called as “going public.” There are many well-known companies which go public or are listed publically in the stock exchange. It follows strict rules and regulations and benefits to the shareholders and leads the business towards numerous opportunities for financial success. 

It is most difficult to raise equity from venture capitalists and other big investors. In that case, IPO tends to be a profitable way to avail equity investments from the public and a fair valuation of the company. After the company is listed publicly, it gets recognition from the suppliers or distributor to the investors and customers. IPO also attracts the banks to invest in the listed companies in the open market. Going public offers the entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists to liquidate all or the part of their offerings. Carrying out the mergers and acquisitions get simple, and the valuation gets market driven. IPO comes with lots of responsibility and rules for the companies to face and follow. Going public means the company can no more be directly operated by the entrepreneur, which automatically helps to keep transparency and share responsibilities with the board of directors, including the profits.

The stock price in the public list indicates the value of the organization, which changes throughout the trading day. IPO carries the potential to grow and be financially successful. The gained funds can allow the organization to invest in a new field or industry to explore the immense possibilities and expansion of the business. The increase in the number of IPOs reflexes the better economy of the market. Going public at the stock exchange can immensely benefit in the long run.
