Initial Public Offering is a process where an unlisted company is issuing its shares to the general public for the first time. Before going IPO the company might be a private limited company. After the IPO the company is known as Public Listed Company with any of the recognized stock exchanges. Going public or going IPO is long and a tedious process, below given are some of the major steps involved before a company going public;

1. Select an investment bank: Any company before going for an IPO must choose an Investment bank who would be advising the company on its IPO and to provide underwriting services.

2. Due diligence and regulatory filings: Under this step, the following underwriting arrangements are available to the issuing company

a. Firm Commitment:
b. Best Efforts Agreement
c. A syndicate of Underwriters:

3. Pricing: Once the IPO is approved by the SEC, the effective IPO date is decided.  Before the effective date, the company and the underwriter decide the offer price (the price at which the shares will be sold) and the accurate number of shares to be sold.

4. Stabilization: After the issue has been brought to the market, the underwriter provides analyst recommendations, after-market stabilization and creates a market for the stock issued.
