What is an IPO? An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is when a private company enters the stock market for the first time to sell its shares to the general public and large institutional investors. The company then becomes a public company, and its shares are then listed on the stock exchanges (NSE and BSE). This process is called an IPO.
The company uses this money to expand its business, repay its debt, or for other business purposes. After completing this process, the private company becomes a publicly listed company, and its shares become available for buying and selling on the stock exchange.
Why does a company launch an IPO?
There are several key factors behind a company’s IPO. Let’s explore them:-
1. Raising capital – A company launches an IPO when it needs to raise capital. After the IPO, the company uses the funds raised to achieve its larger goals, either expanding its business, researching new products, paying off debt, or improving its public image.
2.Private to public – When a company launches an IPO, it transitions from private to public. Before the IPO, its shares were available to only a few shareholders. However, after the IPO, its shares become available to the general public, transforming the company from private to public.
3. Listing on a stock exchange – After a company issues an IPO, its shares are listed on a stock exchange, making them available to the public and can be bought and sold.
4. Trust and Recognition – Listing on the stock market enhances a company’s reputation and transparency, strengthening the trust of customers and suppliers and enhancing the company’s reputation.
5. Providing Exit for Early Investors – An IPO allows investors who have already invested in a company to sell their shares, earn rofits, and exit.
6. Investment Opportunity – An IPO provides investors with the opportunity to buy and sell shares from an early stage, allowing them to earn profits as the company grows.
