IPO (Initial Public Offering)

An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, is the process by which a private company decides to make its shares available to the public by entering a stock market. This allows the company to raise funds from institutional and individual investors. An IPO often marks a turning point in the life of a company, as it becomes a publicly traded company, with increased obligations in terms of financial transparency and governance. The success of an IPO can provide a company with the resources needed to accelerate growth, while providing liquidity to its initial investors and founders.
