Generic and non exhaustive. Market, sector and asset specific factors obviously come into play.
Go Public
- Pros: Liquidity, ability to tap new pools of capital, use paper for acquisitions, founders can monetize some sweat equity/shareholders can take money off the table, price discovery
- Cons: Cost of going public/ongoing reporting and compliance, living quarter to quarter, management time/resources dedicated to IR and pubco commitments
Stay Private
- Pros: Greater control of the business, flexibility that comes from not living quarter to quarter, less time and resources dedicated to IR
- Cons: No access to public pools of capital, no price discovery, no liquidity
