How does the Capital Pool Company (CPC) program compare to an IPO?
The CPC program gives emerging businesses a foothold on TSX Venture Exchange and access to public financing when a traditional IPO is not the preferred route. It is a flexible, straightforward solution for smaller companies that are anxious to take the underwriting risk of an IPO out of the equation. And it enables a CPC with a focused vision to build momentum, raising capital for the purpose of identifying a qualifying transaction, and ultimately obtaining a full listing on TSX Venture Exchange.
