11 Advantages of “Going Public”
Ready supply of capital Increased liquidity Enhanced visibility Independent market value Increased flexibility As you'll read in Chapter 6, the primary reason for "going public" is to help finance the enterprise. In addition to providing a ready supply of capital, public ownership has other advantages and disadvantages. Among the advantages are increased liquidity, enhanced visibility, and the establishment of an independent market value for the company. Moreover, having a publicly traded stock gives companies flexibility to use such stock to acquire other firms. © Prentice Hall, 2007 Excellence in Business, 3e

12 Disadvantages of “Going Public”
High cost SEC filing requirements Reduced ownership control Demands of public exposure Pressure for quarterly results Nevertheless, selling stock to the public also has distinct disadvantages: (1) The cost of going public is high (up to hundreds of thousands of dollars or more), (2) the filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are burdensome, (3) ownership control is reduced, (4) management must be ready to handle the administrative and legal demands of heightened public exposure, and (5) the company is subjected to the stock market's incessant demand for quarterly results. © Prentice Hall, 2007 Excellence in Business, 3e
