After a company has been in business for a while and begins to see success, they will start to contemplate taking the business public. Going public means the business will have stock and shareholders. There are a number of reasons why companies go public which is mainly due to the many benefits that come with such a high profile venture. The following outlines the benefits of a business going public: Increase Capital: By going public, a company will able to raise millions in capital. You can increase your business’s capital by selling stock on the open market. By implementing an Initial Public Offering (IPO), one can raise a significant amount of capital such as by selling stock and issuing bonds, for such business activities as increasing revenue, marketing, expanding, eliminating debt, research, business development, and increasing corporate diversity. Public companies have a greater valuation than private companies. Liquidity: With an increase in its liquidity, the value of the public company will be higher because buyers and sellers are more able to engage in market participation. Going public allows a company to create a market for its stock. Liquidity can also provide an investor with more options such as increasing the diversity of their portfolio, makes it easier to buy and sell, and has a more adjustable asset allowance. Mergers and Acquisitions: A publicly traded company can use their stocks as cash when acquiring or merging with other businesses. With the increase in its liquidity, it makes the business more attractive for mergers and acquisition proposals. It will increase the profile of the business and boost consumer confidence making it a good choice for other companies looking for new investment opportunities. Increase Future Profitability and Sustainability: In order for a company to ensure its future as a thriving and financially stable business, it is essential to have access to new and future capital. Because on average an IPO can raise any where from $25 - 50M, going public will allow them to establish capital for the future. As well, they have the ability go back to the market to raise more capital when needed. Once public, the company will be seen as a safer investment risk, which will help in obtaining better financing terms when seeking loans. Attract Top Employees: Because businesses are always competing for the most talented staff, offering stocks and stock options along with salary, gives that business a competitive edge. Providing stock as a reward for high productivity is often more economical than giving out cash bonuses. Improve a Company’s Image: The image of a business is a key part of achieving success. Because public companies have higher profiles than private businesses, it helps with increasing sales, attracting more customers and establishing a loyal customer base, and acquiring long term business contracts. Publicizing the business along with a compelling marketing strategy will significantly help with the growth of the business. Over time the prestige of the company will increase as well as creating brand recognition. A company that does not go public will often have a much more difficult time growing and expanding. A company with big ambitions will normally take their business public to take advantage of all of the opportunities available which will help them to succeed long term.

You won’t find commercial fishermen catching fish if they have holes in their nets. If your basic networking model is filled with holes you won’t gather up many new people for your down line either. Of course I’m referring to how the Internet can be used with your company’s business model and grow your business. The majority of network marketing companies or businesses that utilize duplication in their payout plans are ill prepared to help their members cope with the ever-changing intricacies of the Internet. That is why over 95% of online entrepreneurs fail. They sign up with these companies after hearing their pie-in-the-sky, get-rich-quick pitches only to find that after spending way too much money and time promoting their businesses that they were already doomed from the start. So, why can’t these companies help their members succeed in their businesses? It becomes apparent that these parent companies don’t possess the needed level of expertise to teach them. It can be compared to the differences between a manufacturer and its sales reps. Manufacturing companies excel at planning and producing products and all the various steps that come before and after that process. But they hire sales reps to find leads, develop relationships and make the sales. That’s because sales people possess a certain talent for that sort of thing. They have a different kind of expertise that has served both them and the companies they represent well for untold generations in the brick and mortar world. But most of THEM can’t make the internet work for them. Again, expertise! You may be pretty good at operating your computer and may even have built yourself a website. But that kind of technical expertise won’t help your business grow if you don’t know what to do. As far as the Internet is concerned, it doesn’t know your website exists. The correct way of promoting your online presence just hasn’t been explained to you. Even if you bought a selection of AdWords, if they were the wrong ones or you paid too much for them it would be a waste of your money. Leads from your parent organization or a lead source don’t always supply the freshest of leads either, which can mean the leads are already out of the market or been pestered until they’re blue in the face. That too, can cost you time and money. So, it comes down to expertise again. You need to learn more. You need to work smarter than even your up-line does. If you are willing to educate yourself and do something other than what hasn’t worked up to this point you can succeed. I am personally involved in online businesses where building down lines and selling services pays me very well. They are all online and I had to find out the hard way the information I am sharing with you now. Think of me as the guy who tried, failed and finally got it together. Now, I am a leader because I have trained myself to be one. My business continues to grow and people seek me out to work with me. Aren’t you hoping for that, too? Sure! OK, for starters nobody cares about the two, three or four-foot rule when you’re working on the internet. The debt status of your parent company is of no interest or its products or anything else. And believe it or not, the compensation plan means nothing either at this time. You are the one thing or person who matters, here. Your great website with all the bells and whistles is of no importance. The only issue important to your website visitor is your credibility. Good written content stated in a friendly way reflecting your expertise is what visitors are searching for. In this way you can develop a rapport with them. They absolutely will NOT buy anything from you or sign up under you as your down line unless they first trust you. This happens slowly when they begin to see you as a leader who can help them and truthfully answer their questions. Buying online requires people to be careful. They don’t want to be scammed by those they hear about on the news. You need to be cognizant of people’s fears and treat them with kid gloves. They will generally do business with you once they trust and respect you and the value of your product or service. That, my friend is basically how it works. That’s it in simple terms. The ball is in your court, now. About the Author:
Ron Knowles was failing miserably at his Internet business. All changed when he heard about a young man who made 7-figures in under 18 months. Learning what he did made all the difference. For a limited time you can get a Free Internet DVD video that shows how it’s done.
