What does listing mean to the company?

The process of raising funds for the development of enterprises by issuing additional shares to investors for the first time through the stock exchange. When a large number of investors subscribe for new shares, they need to draw lots for allotment, which is also called drawing new shares. Investors who subscribe expect to sell at a price higher than the subscription price.

Funds obtained through stock listing do not need to be repaid in a certain period of time. On the other hand, these funds can immediately improve the company's capital structure, so that the company can borrow loans at lower interest rates. In addition, if the IPO is very successful and the future market trend is very strong, then the company may issue more shares at a better price in the future.

Listed companies usually buy other companies through their shares (rather than paying cash). If your company is publicly traded in the stock market, shareholders of other companies will be willing to accept your shares instead of cash when selling. Frequent trading in the stock market provides flexibility for these shareholders. When necessary, they can easily sell stocks or borrow money against stocks.
