Let’s face it, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is not in your future. I’m not trying to be mean, just realistic: an IPO will never be a fit for 99% of companies. Selling stock to the general public is just too complicated, too expensive and relies too much on rapid growth and big profits.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t get the benefits of being on the public stock market — the flexibility, prestige and access to capital might be closer than you think.
