What Counts as a Public Company?

Defining Public Companies

Any business that has issued shares to the public and is traded on a stock exchange is considered a public company. These organizations are legally expected to comply with strict financial reporting requirements and take into account shareholder expectations.

Public companies include:

    • Large-cap corporations with national or global market presence.
    • Mid-cap or small-cap companies focused on growth and expansion.
    • Companies preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) and seeking guidance on entering public markets.
    • Publicly traded firms considering acquisitions, capital restructuring, or divestitures.
