Why use a Capital Pooling Company to go Public
Being a publicly listed company can be expensive when considering upfront listing costs, audits, and legal fees. The National Instruments securities rules, TSX exchange guidelines (see TSX CPC Program details), and IFRS accounting principals are complex and even overlap at times. Therefore, the key to managing expenses and deal risk in raising the public capital is to find good people to guide you through the process to avoid potential pitfalls.
CPCs are specific vehicles to get private companies listed on the TSXV Exchange by splitting the IPO process into these two steps:
STEP 1
Public listing of CPC shell (with Experienced management team and only cash).
STEP 2
Qualifying transaction (QT) where an operating business is merged with the CPC with a filling statement.
About Us
Trust Experienced Advisors to Get Your Company Publicly Trading Quickly
Since 2003, CPC Equities has been managing all the public company reporting tasks for clients to allow entrepreneurs to focus on growing their business. We are a team of 10 educated professionals (CPA, MBA, CFA) who have over 240 years of combined industry experience (including tech, manufacturing, and real estate).
Our team has set up several Capital Pooling Companies (CPCs) on our own so we understand the process intimately. The initial costs can grow exponentially, especially when engaging the securities lawyers. Our mandate is to keep transaction costs low by planning and keeping communication fluid between the executives and advisors in order to have a direct path to listing the company. This is critical since the share valuations in public markets can shift quickly.
FAQ
Commonly Asked Questions
The size of company depends more on the industry and growth potential to drive market interest.
