Public Companies
Being public is like running two businesses. On top of your day-to-day operations—which is a job in and of itself—you’ll have new challenges like raising money, investor relations and board governance.
That’s where we step in. We can handle all of the administrative work to help your company go and stay public.

These are just some of the things you’ll need to check off the list—and ways we can help—if you’re a US or Canadian company going public.
