Definition and Examples
- Definition
- A Direct Public Offering (DPO) is a financial instrument that allows a company to offer its shares directly to the public, often without the need for intermediaries like underwriters or brokers. Unlike traditional Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), a DPO bypasses many of the costly fees and requirements, enabling smaller companies to raise capital more directly from individual investors.
