Lesson 1-- Initial Public Offering (IPO)

Hi...

Why a company enters Stock Market ?
If you are running a company let it be Stupid Idiot Company (SIC) . You are the owner of SIC (100%) . Let your company today is worth 100 crore. Now you want money to expand your company. You can release shares of your company , let be worth 100 crore more. You will have 100 crore to do expansion . And company is now worth 200 crore. And your ownership is 50 %. You will still be the majority holder and thus you will run the company.
Releasing the Shares to public is called IPO or initial public offering.
