Why Do Companies Want to Offer to Public?
An IPO is primarily a money, that is, a source of financing. In addition, companies provide liquidity, institutionalization, globalization, promotion and reputation through public offerings.
Companies use different financing methods according to the sector in which they operate and the status of the company. Each financing method has its own advantages and disadvantages. If public offering is preferred as a financing method, companies offer their shares to the public at a premium price and obtain a lower cost and long-term resource compared to alternative financing methods. In addition, companies can meet their financing needs by making use of loans and issuing debt instruments at more affordable costs by giving their shares as collateral after they go public and their shares are traded on the Stock Exchange.
