Why do companies need to issue shares to the public?

Most companies are usually started privately by their promoter(s). However,
the promoters’ capital and the borrowings from banks and financial
institutions may not be sufficient for setting up or running the business over
a long term. So companies invite the public to contribute towards the equity
and issue shares to individual investors. The way to invite share capital from
the public is through a ‘Public Issue’. Simply stated, a public issue is an offer
to the public to subscribe to the share capital of a company. Once this is
done, the company allots shares to the applicants as per the prescribed
rules and regulations laid down by SEBI.
