The concept of IPO – Initial Public Offering thereby removes the restriction on that transferability of shares, which is a characteristic of private limited companies. It has been settled that there is no cap in terms to the maximum number of members in any public limited company, thereby permitting them to raise & gain easy access to funding. Consequently, growth & flexibility are preferably the reasons for the changing from private to public.
