Initial Public Offerings
From the first thought that you and your business partners had about founding and developing a company that could be a vehicle for your products or professional services, you have been making many important choices that have shaped the success and future of your enterprise. One of the most pivotal decisions during the lifecycle of any corporation is whether it should remain private or become publicly traded. There are advantages and drawbacks to either path, and choosing the best option for your business entity’s needs and interests requires much careful consideration and counsel.

Points to Consider
In many ways, an IPO is perceived as a something like a coming-of-age ritual for growing companies. This can be a means of rapidly and dramatically reshaping the public perception surrounding your venture, but it is important that you avoid being swept away by the fleeting glamour of making the transition from private to public ownership. Here are some points that you absolutely must consider:
- IPOs can be a great way to raise quick capital that is needed for expansion or to take on a major project
- An IPO can lead to instant publicity and broader exposure
- An IPO might enhance the appeal of your company for talented executives and employees
- As a publicly held company, you will be required to work for your shareholders and may not be able to pursue a course of action that you might personally prefer
- An unsuccessful or unimpressive IPO can harm your company’s image
