What Is Initial Public Offering?
In an Initial Public Offering (IPO) a company offers its shares of stock to the general investing public for the first time while raising capital, at the same time. This allows the company to intake equity capital from newly acquired investors. Raising capital through an IPO is a time consuming process that can be dependent on overall market conditions. Needless to say, it will consume upper management's time and resources for a considerable length of time.

Role Of Underwriter In An IPO
In an Initial Public Offering the assistance of a number of underwriting firms may be required, depending on the size of the float. Each underwriter's duty is to assist the company in selling a certain amount of their stock issued by attracting individual investors, funds, institutional entities, and other groups that may wish to invest in the company. Of course, the underwriters make a profit from the commission of their sale of stock and also guarantee that a particular amount of stock will be sold.
