Initial public offering

The IPO stands for Initial public offering and FPO Stand for follow up public offering. The IPO's are more lucrative than FPO's. IPO is the first stock sell by the private company to the public.

initial and follow up public offerings

IPO is intial public offering when a company first time offers its share to public for raising funds it is known as IPO.these are used by smaller ,newer companies to get listed in stock market.these companies bring IPO with help of underwriting company to public.

FPO Follow up Public Offering is used by already listed companies to raise funds to pay debts or to start new project or new operations.

IPO is more risky than FPO as there are little historical data for a new comapny as compared to already listed company.
