Going Public & Capital Markets Consulting for Companies

ITB Solutions works with management teams that are evaluating a Canadian public listing or a broader capital-markets strategy. We help companies determine the practical route forward, organize the transaction plan and coordinate the advisers and workstreams needed to execute it.

Going Public in Canada: Choosing the Right Path

There is no single going-public structure that fits every company. The appropriate route depends on factors such as the company’s stage of development, capital requirements, transaction readiness, valuation, target exchange and the availability of suitable market participants. ITB helps management evaluate those factors before committing to a process.

IPO, RTO and Other Listing Routes

ITB provides management consulting for Initial Public Offering (IPO) consulting, Reverse Takeover (RTO) consulting and other Canadian listing alternatives. Our role is to help define the strategy, prepare management for the process, coordinate the transaction team and keep the workstreams aligned as the transaction progresses. Companies evaluating an RTO can also review our RTO shell company opportunities, while a non-offering prospectus may be relevant in some circumstances.

Capital Access & Valuation

Listing strategy and capital strategy are often connected. ITB can help management assess financing objectives, valuation strategy and the preparation needed for discussions with registered dealers, investors, lenders or other market participants. See our capital access strategy services.

Transaction Planning & Coordination

Once a route is selected, ITB can help build the roadmap, identify dependencies, coordinate legal, audit, dealer and exchange-facing workstreams, and support management through the principal transaction milestones.
