September 18: Webcast - Look North For Growth Capital - A Primer on Canadian Financing Options For Growing U.S. Companies

For U.S. companies in need of growth capital, the Canadian equity and debt markets provide increasingly attractive options. Ranked as soundest across the globe by the World Economic Forum, Canada's financial services sector is exceptionally well-capitalized, well-regulated and well-managed - and it's definitely open for cross-border business. Last year alone, international companies raised $6.6 billion on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and its junior market, the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V)
Why is Canada such a good fit for U.S. companies? In part, it's because the Canadian capital markets are designed to readily accommodate foreign-based issuers, who often use the TSX as a "stepping stone" to listing on the NASDAQ or the NYSE. The Canadian capital markets are also structured to foster the growth of small and mid-cap businesses, supported by a number of investment banks that specialize in financing growing businesses with revenues of less than $200 million. In addition, the Canadian regulatory compliance framework is significantly less expensive than in the U.S. and ensures a high level of market integrity consistent with the practical realties of mid-sized enterprises. Join our experienced panel of professionals as they discuss the benefits, process and key considerations of looking north to Canada for growth capital.
