The process of issuing shares of a private firm to the public in a fresh stock issuance is known as an initial public offering (IPO). An initial public offering (IPO) allows a firm to raise funds from the general public. The move from a private to a public firm, which often involves a share premium for current private investors, can be a crucial opportunity for private investors to completely realise rewards from their investment. Meanwhile, public investors are allowed to participate in the offering.
