What Is Registration?
Registration is the process by which a company files required documents with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), detailing the particulars of a
proposed public offering. The registration typically has two parts: the prospectus
and private filings. The prospectus is a document given to every investor that
purchases the security while the private filing is information given to the SEC for
inspection.
Understanding Registration
The process of an initial public offering (IPO) is a long and complex one,
requiring many months of work and tremendous amounts of documentation.
When registering for an IPO, a company issuing shares must reveal essential
facts and detailed information about its business during the registration process.
What Is a Prospectus?
A prospectus is a formal document that is required by and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that provides details about an
investment offering to the public. A prospectus is filed for offerings of stocks,
bonds, and mutual funds. The document can help investors make more informed
investment decisions because it contains a host of relevant information about the
investment security.
