Glossary Background

Listing is the process where a private company makes its shares available for public trading on a recognized stock exchange. To do this, the company must meet regulatory requirements, disclose financial details, and pass checks set by the exchange and regulatory bodies. Once approved, the company goes public, allowing investors to buy shares. This process is often done through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), where the company offers its shares to the public for the first time, welcoming bids from potential investors and raising capital for growth and expansion.
