Going Public Forms
One of the primary purposes of the federal securities laws is to require companies making a public offering of securities to disclose material business and financial information so that investors may make informed investment decisions. The securities laws require issuers to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, setting forth these disclosures, before offering their securities to the public.
