Контекст:
However, not all companies have
come to the market with the primary objective of raising
money. Around one in ten of all respondents stated that the
extra credibility and profile afforded by being traded on a
stock market was the major motivator in going public. This
was recognised by 71% of respondents who have found that
the extra profile and credibility associated with being a
quoted company is now a major benefit to their company.
