Best Answer

First, a private firm can easily cut expenses related to the regulations of the exchange they are listed on and the filings and regulations imposed by the government agencies, like SEC in the US. Also, since a private company has usually way fewer owners than a public company, the management can easier communicate with the stakeholders and concentrate more on long term goals. Namely, there is no need to publicly report every quarter and the officers have less pressure to improve shareholders' value in a short term. For example, the possibility of lawsuit by stakeholders in a private company for breaching fiduciary responsibility by management is practically nonexistent.
