What Is IPO?
IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. An IPO is the process through which a privately-held company offers its shares to the public for the first time, allowing it to raise capital from public investors.
When a company decides to go public through an IPO, it hires investment banks or underwriters to facilitate the process. These underwriters help the company determine the IPO price, draft the necessary regulatory documents, and manage the offering process.
Once the IPO is launched, interested investors can purchase shares of the company through the stock exchanges where the company’s shares are listed. This influx of capital allows the company to expand its operations, invest in new projects, pay off debts, or achieve other financial objectives.
