What is the Meaning of an IPO?

The Initial Public Offering, or IPO, is a one-of-a-kind process that allows a private firm to become a public company by issuing shares. The issuance of public shares allows the company to raise capital while also providing an outstanding chance for the general population to invest and earn returns on that investment.

A private company expands at first with its early investors, founders, and stakeholders. When a firm achieves a specific goal, the management realizes that it is stable enough to handle SEC (Securities And Exchange Commission) laws, grow, and diversify utilizing money from the general public; the company decides to issue an Initial Public Offering. Through this, the general public is given a stake in the firm in the form of shares.
