Can a small business be publicly traded?

Yes, a small business can be publicly traded. This is usually done by offering shares to the public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and listing on a stock exchange. In India, we have special platforms designed for smaller companies, such as the BSE SME and NSE Emerge.

To become publicly traded, a small business must meet certain eligibility criteria, including minimum net worth, operational track record, and compliance with regulatory and disclosure requirements.
