Issuing Stock Basics

You might be wondering why companies issue stock to share their profits with thousands of people, when they could just keep all the money to themselves. You must realize that there are several advantages of issuing stock and going public. One of the chief reasons why this is taking place is because at some point in time an enterprise needs to generate more capital for company expansion or product development. To make this happen, the company borrows money from another company or collates money by selling a portion of the company, which is a process known as issuing stock.
