It allows the company to raise capital from investors and become publicly traded on a stock exchange. IPOs often mark significant growth and increase transparency, but involve regulatory scrutiny.
An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, is the process by which a private company sells shares of its stock to the public for the first time, becoming a publicly-traded company listed on a stock exchange.
