They cannot - at least not to the public. To sell stock to the public they would first have register their corporation with the state in which it is going to be incorporated. Only then could they offer shares for sale thus making them a (non-privately owned) PUBLIC company.

"Private" companies CAN issue stock in themselves to the members of the inner circle of owners or family designating who "owns" what share of the company, but they cannot sell stock to the general public, that is why they are "private."
