IPO can be regarded as initial offering to the public – the first stock sale to the public by a firm. In case equity has never been issued by the company, then the ways for firms in order for money to be raised may be through either equity or debt to be issued. The firm seeking for an IPO happens to be new or small business requiring capital usually but this has been done by few big privately corporations as well ("What is an IPO & How to Invest in IPO? - Angel Broking", 2019).
