plenty of reasons. if there were not an advantage to going public, thousands of companies wouldn't be on the stock exchange.

in fact CNBC mentioned 100 chinese companies will be going public in the US via reverse merger this year.

I would think the biggest reasons for going public are access to more capital and financing, and liquidity of existing shares for shareholders.

when google was a private company, early on they tried to sell the company and search technology for $1 million and there were no takers.
now its worth $100+ billion on the stock exchange. lucky for them no one bought them for $1 million.

Why would Google go public?
