Have you ever wondered how companies become publicly traded on the stock market? Let's demystify the process of listing shares!

What is Listing?

Listing is the process through which a company makes its shares available for trading on a stock exchange. It's like opening the doors of ownership to the public.

How Does it Work?

Preparation: Before listing, a company needs to meet certain financial and regulatory criteria. This ensures transparency and protects investors.

Initial Public Offering (IPO): The company issues shares to the public for the first time through an IPO. Investors buy these shares, providing capital to the company.

Stock Exchange: The company's shares are then listed on a stock exchange, like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ. This makes them tradable among investors.

Example: XYZ Corporation

Imagine XYZ Corp., a tech company, decides to go public. They meet financial standards, launch an IPO, and issue shares. Now, investors can buy and sell XYZ Corp. shares on the stock exchange.
