Going public in Canada

Are you thinking of Going Public in Canada? Are you Seeking Investment for your Products, Services, or a Business Plan? Considering Venture Capital? Or just, a source of ongoing capital to properly grow your business?

Canada has a robust capital market, as well as strength in funding growth ventures. Getting access to funding opportunities can be facilitated by becoming a public company on the CSE stock market. Being a Publicly Traded Company provides access to the Canadian Capital Markets and the many pools of Public Venture Capital that are available to emerging companies. It raises your corporate profile and puts you "on the radar" as a suitable investment opportunity for investors. In Canada, the main choices of going public are the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V), and the CSE - Canadian Securities Exchange.

We invite you to consider the advantages of NEO or CSE as a destination to take your company public.

Companies that go public on a stock market in Canada become a reporting issuer with one or more of the Provincial Securities Commissions. Once a company becomes a reporting issuer, it is subject to ongoing public disclosure and reporting requirements. The definition of a Reporting Issuer is: "A company that has issued shares to the public and is subject to continuous disclosure requirements by one or more of the provincial securities commissions." Companies can become a reporting issuer in Canada in many ways, but the two most common are by qualifying a Prospectus, or completing a Reverse Take Over with a reporting issuer. Each company on CSE is a reporting issuer in one or more province.

If you are not currently a reporting issuer there are many methods to achieve this status, including a merger or an amalgamation with a reporting issuer, qualifying a Non-Offering or Offering Prospectus or completing a Reverse Take Over (RTO). The two most common methods used by companies looking to go public are through filing and clearing a prospectus with at least one Provincial Securities Commission, or completing a Reverse Takeover Transaction (RTO) with an existing reporting issuer.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary ...

All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading. So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares. Even when we talk about cash deals, a stock value for the target firm is discussed, and that value may be considerably higher than its current market price. Therefore,...

What are the benefits for foreign companies to be listed on OTC markets and how they can do that? Is it an easy procedure, and what are the conditions? What is the main reason for companies that are listed on qualified foreign exchanges to trade on OTC markets? We are here to cater to your questions by providing you with the right answers. The first thing we need to start with is that this market is a global market. Only that fact gives you countless opportunities. To be listed on Wall Street which represents a vital center of global finance, for early-stage growth companies, and having access to US investors can bring a significant competitive advantage. It is appropriate for small businesses due to its regulatory structure, which gives better transparency and accessibility to a bigger pool of less risk-averse and more active investors.
