Some would say that being a private company is actually a competitive advantage, providing the ability to pursue high-risk, high-return innovative ventures unconstrained. It is suggested that IPO’s are declining because private companies can avoid the hassles of dealing with required disclosures and the exposure associated with the public equity market.
