Initial Public Offering (IPO)

When a corporation (Private or a state corporation), offers its shares on the market for the first time it performs an IPO (Initial Public offering). Usually, the corporation will issue new shares and offer them on the market. Sometimes, the owner of the corporation, which is an enterprise or a country, may offer some of the shares he owns.

If new shares are issued, the proceeds from the sale go to the corporation. If the owner offers some of his shares, the proceeds will go to the owner. Only state and private corporations can become public. National corporations cannot go public.
