What is an IPO?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a process that a private corporation goes through in order to open its shares to the public.
This process enables the company to raise money and increase its credibility and exposure. It allows private investors to fully realise gains from their investment and participate in most of the corporate actions.
