Reverse Mergers

A reverse merger is a process where a private company acquires a publicly traded company to become publicly listed without going through the traditional initial public offering (IPO) process. In this scenario, the private company essentially merges with the public company, allowing it to access capital markets more quickly and with less regulatory scrutiny. This strategy is often used by startups or smaller firms seeking to grow and attract investors. The public company typically becomes a shell entity, while the private company's executives take control, facilitating a faster route to becoming publicly traded.
