==Need for the Document==
'''Once re-registered as a public company, the company may want to seek admission to trading on a stock exchange. It may want to do this for a number of reasons, including''': 
*The main reason why a private company may want to re-register as a public company is to be able to offer its shares to the public.
*To enable the company to raise finance for its development and growth (both organically and by acquisition)
*To place a market value on the company
*To increase the company's profile
*To create a market for the company's shares
*To incentivize employees, and
*To enhance the company's status with its customers and suppliers
 
 
==Information which might help==
*Some companies re-register just to obtain the 'plc' suffix, which is perceived by some to enhance a company's reputation even if the company's shares are not listed on a stock exchange. However, re-registration just to obtain the 'plc' suffix is less frequent because the costs involved with the re-registration and the extra administrative burden for public companies may outweigh the perceived benefits associated with gaining a 'plc.' name.
 
 
==Other uses of the Document/Certificate==
''Upon the issue of the certificate'': 
*The company becomes a private limited company, and
*The changes in the company’s name and articles take effect
