Image via WikipediaThe Frankfurt Stock Exchange is the world's third largest trading center for securities and Germany's largest exchange. It is responsible for 90 percent of the securities trading volume in Germany. The Exchange facilitates advanced electronic trading, settlement and information systems and enables cross-border trading for international investors.
And German investors, both institutional and private, who have held back from investing for many years by government restraints and their own conservatism, are now actively searching for small to mid-size U.S. and Canadian companies to invest in. With a new investment climate in Europe and changes in the OTC market in Germany the time is now ripe for U.S. and Canadian companies to enter the European public markets.
The Frankfurt Exchange provides a gateway to the European market for both private and public companies. Companies that are already listed on one of the following exchanges: TSX, TSX Venture, NASDAQ, OTC:BB or the Pink Sheets can obtain a dual listing and be trading in 2 to 3 weeks.
For private companies that want to take that "First Step" into the public markets the process to become trading can take as little as 6 weeks.
The Frankfurt Exchange offers the following advantages:
