A private company is a firm held under private ownership. Private companies may issue stock and have shareholders, but their shares do not trade on public exchanges and are not issued through an IPO. As a result, private firms do not need to meet the SEC's strict filing requirements for public companies. Private companies range in size and scope, encompassing individually owned businesses and unicorn startups worldwide.
