Why an LLC Cannot Be Publicly Traded:
Ownership Restrictions: LLCs are owned by "members," and ownership isn't divided into tradable shares like corporations.
Lack of Share Structure: LLCs don't issue stock, which is required for trading on public stock exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ.
Regulatory and Reporting Differences: LLCs are not structured to meet the strict disclosure and governance standards required for public companies.
✅ Alternative:
If a company wants to go public, it typically converts from an LLC to a corporation (C-Corp) before issuing shares to the public.

No, publicly traded and publicly owned are not the same thing. A publicly traded company is one whose shares are listed on a stock exchange and can be bought or sold by the general public. In contrast, a publicly owned entity refers to any organization owned and operated by the government or public sector, which may not necessarily issue shares or be traded on the stock market. Thus, while all publicly traded companies are owned by the public, not all publicly owned entities are publicly traded.
