NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Successful IPOs can make founders, owners and senior executives millionaires overnight, at least on a spread sheet. Equally, millions of equity financing can also be raised overnight—dollars that will be essential fund growth initiatives: new products, expanded markets, employee hires, research and development and acquisitions.

  2. Less control
  3. Pressure to meet third-party expectations
  4. No "privacy"

A updated Bloomberg BNA / Vintage video discusses ALL aspects of an IPO – tapping in the experts from Barclays, PwC, Baker & McKenzie and our president, Liam Power.
