If I understand your question, you are asking how to take a company public? There are three things which you will need to do before you can take a company public. The first thing you need to do is have a comprehensive business plan. This will tell people about you, the management, history of the organization and how you see the future of the company. You need to show people how you plan on using the money you will receive when you sell shares in the company. Have your CPA financials and prepare pro forma's for your company. These are financial projections for your company. You also need some historical numbers of from 2-5 years. The next thing to do is find a good lawyer who specialized in SEC or securities filings. There are a lot of complicated laws which must be followed when you offer securities to the general public. Most companies make an IPO or Initial Public Offering first. Taking a company public can be very costly and will at least take several months.

You offer stock to the public. Investment banks do the Initial Public Offerings of stock. They underwrite the transaction. This means they take on the responsibility of finding investors (usually institutional investors) who will buy your stock. Underwriters make their income from the price difference between the price they pay the issuer (you) and what they collect from investors or from broker-dealers who they sell stock to. The other main option is to buy a company that is already public, so that its stock becomes your own and also enabling you to issue more stock in your company name, and thus using it as a "shell" company to make your own private company a public corporation.

There are three ways:
1) You buy a public company (This is the cheapest option for about $100,000.00 USD)
2) You go public overseas (This is the second cheapest option for $200,000.00 USD)
3) You go public in the United States of America (This is the third cheapest option for $300,000.00 USD)
