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
