“Should my company go public?”

We often get this question from business owners whose companies are doing well.

Here’s the truth: just because you can list your company doesn’t always mean you should.

✅😊  Benefits of being listed

• Access to cheaper funding sources
• Easier to raise money when expansion is needed
• Stronger credibility with customers, partners, and investors

⚠️ Costs & challenges of being listed

• Higher compliance and audit expenses (e.g., switching to SEC-authorized auditors)
• Every major decision is closely scrutinized
• Increased regulatory oversight — because once you’re listed, you’re using the public’s money
• Higher pressure to expand

So before you decide, weigh the pros and cons. Going public can be powerful, but it’s not the right move for every company.
