Understanding IPOs: From Private Dreams to Public Realities
An Initial Public Offering, or IPO, is a very important moment for a private company. When a company starts, it usually uses money from its founders, family, or private investors. However, there comes a time when the business wants to grow much larger than before. An IPO is the exact process where a private company sells its shares to the general public for the very first time. By doing this, the company officially changes from being a quiet, private business to being a public corporation.
