    I don’t know the ins and outs, but you can make a privately held company public by offering shares for sale to the public. I’m pretty sure you have to go through a process with the SEC and you have to have a company that is viable enough to attract interest.

    All companies are private before they go public. Some of them have several million shares issued to investors in the form of preffered and common stock. (Venture Capitalists) You have to get a wall street type underwriter to take your company public. All of the shares issued at that point become common stock. It’s just paper work and FCC filings.
