One of the most frequently used methods of going public is by means of a Reverse Take-Over (“RTO”) of an existing reporting issuer (public company) in Canada.

In Canada, unlike the US, there are no Over-the Counter (“OTC”) Markets, therefore all RTO’s are reviewed by the regulation department of a stock exchange, which provides a level of comfort for the company going public as well as for the shareholders of the “shell” company.

Great care must be taken in sourcing out shell companies for this purpose. They must be legally in good standing, with no overhanging lawsuits pending, and must be up to date with their required filings to the regulatory authorities.
