Let's say for example, we opened up uh
Yossi's Pizza Store, and you want to go
public, and you want to sell to 200
people uh a piece of the business, and
you sell it to them, so you would
theoretically give them a stock
certificate. You'd give them shares.
You'd give them ownership in your pizza
business. And now when you go public,
you can trade those shares on the Nasdaq
Exchange or New York Stock Exchange. And
so, every company that goes public has
to have a transfer agent that maintains
the records and the shares and the
certificates and the
that whole that whole element of uh
being a public company. So, that's what
we do. We work with about 1,000 publicly
traded companies, and um it really
doesn't matter what industry.
