Shares are equity securities, so buyers of shares that a company issues become co-owners and provide long-term funding. In return, the investors want to see the share price increase and/or receive dividends as the company grows and develops.
Bonds are debt securities. They let you raise money for a company without diluting its ownership, but they oblige you to repay the investors. In offering bonds a company has control over the terms, including the amount, repayment date, interest payments, and so on.

The company’s owners need to adopt a formal decision to list the company’s shares or bonds on an exchange (to “go public”).
Next a share or bond prospectus – a document describing the securities to be offered to investors – needs to be prepared and registered with the local financial supervisory authority.
Then, for new issues, an initial public offering (IPO) or a non-public offering of the securities is carried out. If the company just wants to list already existing shares, this step is not necessary.
Now a listing application can be submitted to the stock exchange.
