When a private company wants to raise more capital, they can opt to issue stocks (aside from loaning money from banks - which they would have to pay interest) and become publicly traded. They have to work with investment brokers (e.g., Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, etc.) and decide on how many stocks to issue and at what price. Then they will do an initial public offering (IPO) to begin a public trading on their stocks.
