Public Offerings
IPO's are a corporation's first offering of a security to the public. Although the reasons for going public may vary from company to company it is generally to raise capital so the company can finance its growth and accomplish its goals. Because these companies are new to the public markets they carry a greater amount of risk than those of a more seasoned company.
Since our inception we at McGinnSmith have guided our clients through both the process of going public to the actual purchase of these new companies shares. We have a rich tradition in helping bring companies public on both a local and national level.
Whether it is an IPO or a follow on (secondary offering) McGinnSmith has demonstrated a firm and loyal commitment to both the issuer and the buyer in this very exciting sector of the equity capital markets.
Typically, shares sold to the public in a conventional IPO are reserved for institutional investors and preferred customers of the underwriters. We at McGinnSmith believe that all of our clients should have equal opportunity in the purchasing of shares in Initial Public Offerings.
