Whenever the general public, as company shareholders, demand dividends without keeping the company's economic circumstances in proper perspective, it increases performance pressure on the company.[4] Secondly, sometimes companies provide false financial reports to sell shares which lead towards further complications in market.

Along with higher costs, processes of registering and running a company are also very complex.[6] For example, in the UK, in order to run a public limited company, a register of the directors, shareholders, and any shareholder votes, as well as all details of the company's finances must be compiled and kept for a minimum of six years.

During the 2008 financial crisis, several companies went bankrupt because of fluctuations in the stock market, severely limiting their operating capital to the extent that they were unable to pay their creditors and were forced to liquidate their operational assets. undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Though a dividend may be involved, the terms of dividend liability are far more flexible than terms for loans.[4] Along with this, shares are not considered as a debt, and by public floating, companies can reduce their debts creating a better asset to liability ratio. undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

For example, a company may have 10 million outstanding shares, with 3 million of them in a locked-in position; this company's float would be 7 million (multiplied by the share price).

This number is sometimes seen as a better way of calculating market capitalization, because it provides a more accurate reflection (than entire market capitalization) of what public investors consider the company to be worth.... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
