Benefits

There are many benefits to taking your company public through our SPV’s, including:

Full access to a team of professionals with industry and public company experience

Our SPV’s come with a full Board of Directors who have experience in various sectors on the public company level. We will not simply exit the investment after taking you public. We will provide transitional support for your team through the journey, provide interim directors and officers if needed and will generally hand-hold you until you are comfortable being a public company.

We closely work with service providers, including corporate advisors, brokers, lawyers, accountant and corporate secretaries who are ready to provide additional support.

Access to capital and future financing opportunities

Going public provides your company with equity financing opportunities to grow your business - from expansion of operations to acquisitions.

The issuance of public shares will expand your investor base, provide liquidity and will facilitate further financings in the public markets, including private placements, convertible debenture notes, warrants and options. Public companies often receive more favourable lending terms when borrowing from financial institutions.

Public Venture Capital remains the most favourable way of financing when compared to Angel and Venture Capital Financing.

Increased visibility and prestige

Going public enhances your company's visibility. Greater public knowledge gained through media exposure, publicly filed documents and coverage of your stock by analysts can provide your company with greater profile and integrity. Ultimately, this will result in a more diversified group of investors following your company, which may increase demand for your company's shares and thus increase your company's value.

Liquidity for shareholders

Becoming a public company establishes a market for your company's shares, providing your investors with an efficient and regulated vehicle in which to trade their own shares. Greater liquidity in the public market can lead to better valuation for shares than would be seen through private transactions.

Create employee incentive mechanisms

Your employees can participate in the ownership of your company and benefit from being a shareholder. Stock options and employee share purchase programs are a good mechanism for compensating your employees without depleting cash reserves.

This can serve to ensure stronger employee commitment to your company's performance and success. Share options in a public company have an immediate and tangible value to employees, especially as a recruitment incentive.

Facilitate growth

As a public company, your shares can be utilized as an acquisition currency to acquire target companies, instead of a direct cash offering. Using shares for an acquisition can be a tax efficient and cost effective vehicle to finance such a transaction. This can also improve your ability to complete mergers and acquisitions in a more timely and cost-effective manner.
