Direct Public Offerings
A Direct Public Offering (DPO) enables a company to sell shares directly to the public, bypassing intermediaries like investment banks, and become publicly traded. Compared to an IPO, a DPO offers lower costs, less paperwork, and reduced effort. The issuing company retains control over the share price but must still comply with regulatory requirements. This streamlined approach makes DPOs an attractive option for companies seeking to raise capital efficiently while maintaining greater influence over the process, though adherence to legal procedures remains essential.
