FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What are the basic requirements to list on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV)?

    The TSXV targets earlier-stage growth companies. While requirements vary by sector and tier, key considerations generally include: having an experienced management team, a strong business plan, meeting minimum working capital and financial resource requirements, and having sufficient public float/distribution upon listing. Specific financial thresholds are less stringent than the senior TSX.

  • How long does a typical M&A transaction take in Canada?

    Timelines vary greatly depending on complexity, deal size, negotiation dynamics, and regulatory approvals. However, a typical mid-market M&A process – from initial engagement/LOI through due diligence, definitive agreement negotiation, and closing – often takes between 4 to 9 months.

  • As a foreign company acquiring a Canadian business, what's the biggest hurdle with the Investment Canada Act?

    For acquisitions exceeding certain monetary thresholds, demonstrating a "net benefit to Canada" can be the main hurdle. This involves commitments regarding employment, investment, innovation, competition, etc. Additionally, acquisitions in sensitive sectors may undergo a potentially lengthy and less predictable National Security Review, regardless of value.

  • What do Canadian Venture Capital (VC) firms typically look for in a pitch?

    Beyond a large market opportunity and a scalable business model, Canadian VCs heavily emphasize: the quality and experience of the management team, demonstrated traction or product-market fit, a clear competitive advantage, realistic financial projections, and a credible path to exit. Understanding the specific focus of the VC fund is also crucial.

  • What's the difference between using an investment bank and a firm like InterGest for capital raising?

    Investment banks typically act as underwriters for large public offerings (IPOs, follow-ons) or lead agents for significant private placements/M&A, focusing on transaction execution and distribution. InterGest often focuses on strategic advisory, readiness preparation, process management, identifying funding pathways (including VC/PE/Debt introductions), and supporting companies *before and during* engagement with banks or lead investors, ensuring they are well-prepared and strategically positioned.

  • Is equity crowdfunding a significant source of capital in Canada?

    Equity crowdfunding is a growing but still relatively small part of the overall Canadian capital landscape compared to VC, PE, or public markets. It can be a viable option for certain B2C or community-focused businesses seeking smaller funding rounds ($250k - $1.5M). However, it involves specific regulatory compliance (NI 45-110) and requires significant marketing effort to succeed.
