Initial Public Offering (IPO)

Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a company's first public equity issue. Companies go public primarily to raise new capital for expansion. It also makes future capital raises easier and allows other companies to potentially acquire them. However, going public is expensive and ongoing reporting responsibilities increase. Firms also lose some control to public shareholders. The IPO process involves selecting an underwriter, registering with the SEC, printing a prospectus, conducting a roadshow to market the offering, pricing shares, and selling the securities. Underwriters help companies access public markets but take on risks if shares are not fully sold. The timing of an IPO depends on market conditions.
