Go Public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with Merger Law Associates Ltd.

Bull and bear in front of the Frankfurt Stock ...Image via Wikipedia
The 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:

  • Access to new markets and investor. A listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will introduce your company to a whole new market - the German speaking Euro-economic market primarily consisting of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. This market, consisting of more than 100 million people, has the fastest rate of growth and the highest income per head in the EU. Many of these people are very active in world financial markets. And more and more affluent retail and institutional investors are searching European stock exchanges and financial websites to help make their investment decisions and we can help put you on their radar screen. The strong euro makes North American stocks very attractive.
  • Ease of entry. Audited financials are not required.
  • Fast – Get listed in 8 to 12 weeks. Dual listing takes 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Low costs and maintenance. No monthly or annual filing fees,
  • Relaxed regulation. (No Sarbanes-Oxley Act to worry about)
  • There are no asset or revenue requirements
  • Very inexpensive.
  • Sophisticated Investors. Unlike U.S. investors European investors invest for the long term. And in most European countries there are major tax benefits for holding on to purchased stock for a certain amount of time as opposed to "dumping" it immediately into the market. The lack of investors that instantly sell a company's stock allows for stability in stock price and opportunities for growth.
  • Dual-Listing on Frankfurt Exchange. 
  • All TSX, TSX Venture, OTC:BB, NASDAQ, Pinksheet companies qualify using existing financials.
  • Increase Daily Average. 
  • A way to increase a company's average daily trading-volume and share price.

Talk to Merger Law Associates Ltd. on the Advantages of Going Public

At some point in a company's growth cycle, it becomes prudent to consider the advantages of being publicly traded. In addition to the higher profile and prestige with customers, suppliers, employees and the financial community, there are other compelling benefits.

Access to Capital Markets


One of the most obvious benefits is access to the capital markets. Raising capital as a public company offers investors the benefit of liquidity of their investment, and hence, a viable exit strategy. For this reason, public companies are normally valued higher than private companies. Even if the stock of a public company trades in low volumes, there is at least an illusion of liquidity, which makes financiers more comfortable with making an investment.

Private Placements


Additionally, it is usually much easier for a public company to raise money through a private offering after that company is trading. Private Placement in Public Equities (PIPE) has become a more popular and effective method of raising capital for smaller and medium size companies.

Attract and Retain High Level Management


Stock and stock options have more value, and can be very effective tools in attracting and keeping top quality management.

Growth Through Acquisition


Acquisitions can now be fully or partially financed by stock, opening up more opportunities to grow a business quickly to reach critical mass.

Founders Net Worth


A public offering usually boosts the personal net worth of the company's shareholders. Stories abound of multi-millionaires created through public offerings. Shareholders of a newly trading company can more easily obtain liquid cash either by selling a portion of their publicly traded stock or by using this stock as collateral for loans.
