The company which offers the share to the public is known as the “issuer”.

What is IPO? :-

Initial public offering (IPO) can be described as the process in which, by selling a portion of its stake to investors, a private company or organization can become public. In general, an IPO is introduced to infuse the business with new equity capital, to promote easy trading of current assets, to collect capital for the future, or to monetize existing stakeholders' investments.
