    The distinction between public offer an d offer for sale is not clear to me. Could you please explain it? Thanks

    I don’t think I’ve ever used the expression “offer for sale”. Where have you read it?

    I read it in the BPP study book for this year. It says:
    “Public offer: where members of the public subscribe for shares directly to the company.”
    “Offer for sale: an offer to members of the public to apply for shares based on information in a prospectus.”

    Ah! I wouldn’t worry about the distinction – it’s hardly likely to be asked!
