Companies stage an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital and to reward early investors, officers and workers who’ve been given ownership shares. In a public offering, shares are sold via an underwriter, with most going to large institutional investors and select high-net worth investors.
In rare cases, the average retail investor may be invited to participate, but most will have to wait until shares are trading on an exchange.
