“Going public” means a private company offers its shares of stock for sale to the public for the first time. It is also called “initial public offering (IPO). An IPO means that the ownership of a company changes from private ownership to public ownership. Companies typically go public to pay down debt, fund growth plans, raise awareness, and allow insiders to diversify their holdings, or raise funds to generate liquidity by selling all or part of their private equity as part of an IPO.
