going public

Going public is making something widely known that was previously private or restricted: After months of secret negotiations, they're finally going public with the merger.
In business, going public specifically means offering a company's shares for sale on a stock exchange for the first time, transitioning from private to public ownership: The startup is going public next quarter.
