A quick definition of prospectus:

A prospectus is a formal document that a company creates when it wants to sell its shares to the public. The document contains important information about the company, such as its history, financial situation, and future plans. It also lists the names of the people who run the company and any legal problems the company is facing. The prospectus is like a summary of a bigger document that the company files with the government. If the prospectus contains lies or important information is left out, the company can get in trouble with the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A prospectus is a formal document that provides information to potential buyers of a new offering of a corporate security. It contains detailed information about the company's history, financial state, current business plans, the names of its directors and officers, and any pending litigation it is involved in. The prospectus is usually an abridged version of the company's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

For example, if a company wants to sell shares of its stock to the public, it must file a registration statement with the SEC. The prospectus is then created based on that registration statement and is given to potential buyers of the stock. The prospectus provides important information that investors can use to make informed decisions about whether to buy the stock.

It's important to note that any fraud, misrepresentation, or omission in a prospectus is illegal and can result in legal action against the company. This is because the prospectus is a document of great legal significance.

Overall, a prospectus is an important document that provides potential investors with the information they need to make informed decisions about buying a company's securities.
