Abstract
Initial Public Offerings, or IPO’s, were on a dramatic rise in the 1990’s. Management of companies were becoming overnight millionaires from completing an IPO. One cannot deny that going public can be a fiscally wise decision for those holding stock in the company. Though the personal rewards can be large, going public also provides much needed capital to a promising, high-growth company. But, a company does not need to go public in order to raise capital.
