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 ...

Going through Acquisition with Mina Mar Group

An acquisition is the purchase of one business or company by another company. It happens when acquiring company buys most or all target company's shares in order to take control and or other assets of the company. They have to buy more than 50% of ownership. In acquisition usually bigger company buys smaller company and absorb it or run it as subsidiary. Roll-ups or consolidation happen when two or more companies combine in a new business entity. Acquisitions are divided into "private" and "public" depending on whether acquired or target company is or is not listed on the public market. Additional dimension or categorization consists of whether an acquisition is friendly or hostile (hostile takeover). More mergers and acquisitions happens with small to medium size companies. One type of acquisition is reverse merger or reverse takeover enables private company to be publicly listed in a relatively short time frame. Reverse merger occurs when a privately ...

Our perspective on reverse merger

When we are talking about market perspective usually the financial community is mostly focused on private companies that want to go public and are prepared to pay for the privilege of going through an IPO or reverse merger. That is why most financial consultants are looking for the public shell company just to close the deal. Often private companies that use reverse merger to go public are ill-informed on ability to raise funds, unprepared for the intensive effort and extensive costs to create liquidity. This can even lead company to become a shell itself due to lack of action in implementation of needed solutions. This way there is no long term benefit on both sides. Mina Mar Group sees things quite differently. Instead of making quick profit shared between shell owner and us. We deal with private companies that already offer profits  and that truly deserve to be publicly traded and can attract investors at the retail and institutional level and build...
