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.

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...
