🤓 Inside Scoop...

Taking a company private

is basically the opposite of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). When companies need money, they can sell a portion of their company (equity/stock) to investors for the promise of growth or a share of their profits. When companies sell ownership to public investors through the stock market for the first time (IPO), they have to start abiding by the regulations of a public company, reporting on their financial health, and dealing with broader scrutiny. If a private investor decides to buy all of the outstanding shares from the public, the company is no longer considered public and can operate with less scrutiny. Shareholders can no longer sell their shares on the stock market.
