Canadian Stock Exchange


Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE) is one of the fastest growing exchanges in the world. It was the first full stock market to be approved by the Ontario Securities Commission  in the past 70 years. CSE is alternative for micro-cap and emerging companies. It gives alternative to entrepreneurs  by making the access to Canadian public capital market easier and more user friendly. The CSE offers simple and precise rule book that makes the process of accessing public market quick and relatively inexpensive. Here are some of the reason why you should list your company on Canadian Stock Exchange.

Straightforward requirements  - listing on CSE is streamlined with clear and concise rule book (it is just 56 pages). It helps companies to quickly realize if they can meet requirements and avoid engaging in lengthy process. Rule book is written not only for lawyers and corporate finance people but also for companies and business themselves so they can understand it. By focusing on company disclosure records and consolidating them into listing statement they are able to cut listing time from months to weeks.

Being connected exchange - CSE has connection to all major broker firms in Canada, discount brokers as well. Relationship with USA OTC markets is important with many companies having dollar quotes on the OTC. Market makers operating on both sides have result in deeper markets, tighter spread for the issuers and more liquidity. CSE is also only exchange in Canada that provides real time data.

Enhances disclosure - one of the foundations of continuous disclosure program for companies is is the requirement they provide monthly statements, available through CSE website. Monthly statements provide an update for investors about company's progress which is also important part of their investor relation and shareholder communication.

Streamlined regulation - are not used only in initial listing phase but when a company wants to raise additional capital, do corporate reorganization or acquisition among other things. It enables reduction of time needed  for a company to complete transaction and reduces cost.

Low and fixed fees - in essence they are predictable because they are flat rate. It doesn't matter if company us doing significant changes, reorganization or raising money, the fee is always the same.

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.

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 ...
