Stuff that others have already pointed out but still fun to see repeated:

Quote:
Once your company is trading on a national exchange – either the NYSE or NASDAQ – you will see significant, tangible benefits:
1 | Enhanced credibility.
By holding publicly-traded companies to a higher standard, an uplisting creates higher levels of perceived credibility and legitimacy for companies that meet the stringent requirements set by the exchanges.
2 | Broader investor reach and visibility.
By virtue of trading on a national exchange, companies may meet the threshold for many Wall Street analysts to potentially cover the company with research. This will broaden visibility and extend reach to new investors through their sales organization.
3 | Expanded access to capital.
Many funds have mandates that preclude them from investing in illiquid and/or OTC traded entities, thus limiting shareholder access. Listing on a national exchange exponentially opens up the universe of potential investors.
4 | Increased liquidity.
Newly uplisted companies benefit from higher trading volumes and therefore greater liquidity. Liquidity can be a key factor in a fund manager’s decision to own a stock, as well as other structural factors. Studies confirm that after uplisting, companies often experience significant daily volume increases.
