Reverse Merger
A reverse merger is a process where a private company acquires a public company, allowing it to become publicly traded without going through the lengthy initial public offering (IPO) process. In this scenario, the private company usually absorbs the public one, and its owners gain control. This method can provide quicker access to capital and market visibility for the private company, while the public company often seeks to revitalize itself after facing challenges. Essentially, it’s an efficient way for a private business to become public by leveraging an existing public entity.
