The shares are listed on a stock exchange, through which they can be bought and sold. This process is known as going public. An IPO, or initial public offering, occurs when a company decides to sell shares to the public for the first time. These shares are then listed on a stock exchange, allowing individuals and institutions to purchase and trade them. This transition from a privately owned entity to a publicly traded one is commonly referred to as going public.
