What is a Reg A+ IPO?

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company goes public and issues shares on a stock exchange to retail investors. This is the main capital raising strategy for companies looking to scale.

A Reg A+ offering issues shares to retail investors, so is considered to be a mini-IPO or a substitute to traditional capital markets. Yet, in a Reg A+ offering, the company remains private. Read more about Regulation A+ here.
