Registration of Securities

Registration of securities refers to the process of officially recording a company's securities—like stocks or bonds—with regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This process involves providing detailed information about the company, its finances, and the securities being offered, to ensure transparency and protect investors. Once registered, these securities can be publicly sold on stock exchanges. Registration helps verify the legitimacy of the securities and provides investors with essential information to make informed decisions. It is a crucial step in the process of raising capital from the public while maintaining market integrity.
