Abstract
According to a survey of 32 mid-sized companies, conducted by law firm Foley & Lardner, the average cost of being a public company with annual revenues under $1 billion increased by 130%. The fallout of corporate scandals had seen a rash of legislations including the Sarbanes Oxley Act and the new Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The costs of going and staying public increased. An analyst commented that many entrepreneurs no longer even dreamt of going public because they saw the hassles outweighing the potential benefits. The case study aids discussion on the costs of going public and the travails of staying as a public company.
