Two main steps corporation takes to go public?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering

that's a start. there's more to this and SOX has made things more complicated (external auditor) with fees and such.

Two main steps?

I guess one is to find an underwriter and two is to sell the shares to the public.

I could be wrong, it all depends on the definition of "main" steps.

What are the main steps of eating breakfast? The answer will vary depending on who you ask.

I am supposed to explain the two main steps a corporation takes to go public. I have found a lot of information on steps, but there are a lot more then just two. 

 

All I need to know is what are the two main steps a corporation takes to go public in the sstock market. Thanks :) don't need a description, just need to know which steps they are.

I agree with StockJock-e and he gave you two steps but that's really a loaded question. Who said there were two main steps and what other info can you give us?

LOL there are more than 2 steps...

depends how your asking this.. do you mean to be listed?
