Cost of Going Public

 

  1. Listing Fees: Original Listing Fees for the Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) range from US$8,000 and up, as determined by the market value of the company at the point of listing. A non-refundable deposit of $5,000 must be submitted at the time of the application and will be applied against the final Original Listing Fee. Fees may be higher depending on the level of due diligence required. For example, more due diligence would be required for a company with foreign business assets.

  2. Maintenance Fees: During the life of a listing on the Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX), there will also be additional fees for certain transactions such as property acquisitions, public offerings and private placements. As well, there will be an annual sustaining fee payable after the first year of the listing. You can see a complete list of all GREENSX listing fees by clicking here.

  3. Securities Commission Fees: Securities commissions will charge an administrative fee for a offering circular (prospectus) filing, as well as for additional filings. Fees vary by province and state, so check with your local securities commission or your legal counsel.

  4. Brokerage Fees: The investment dealer who will may be selling your company's securities into the marketplace will charge a negotiable sales commission ranging from 6%-10% of the value of the securities sold, plus warrants. This sales commission will be paid out of the offering proceeds. The investment dealer may also charge a corporate finance fee, although this is usually combined with other fees.

  5. Nominated Advisor Fees: The Nominated Advisor Fees is a third-party cost, payable to a recognized Nominated Advisor to conduct a due diligence study ensuring that your company meets Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) listing requirements. Nominated Advisor will be required if the business involves unproven or unique technology, regardless of sector, or has foreign business assets.

  6. Professional Fees: Some types of listings may require audited financial statements. Audit costs vary depending on the complexity of your company, the state of its accounting records, and its financial position. The cost of auditing an operating company for the first time may range between $5,000 and $100,000, although may be higher if a company has foreign operations. There may also be costs for additional services, such as comfort letters.

  7. Legal Fees: Legal fees for a company listing on the Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) generally range from $5,000 to $100,000, but may exceed that amount based on the complexity of the transaction. As well, foreign companies and certain types of businesses (e.g. business trusts, etc.) may incur higher legal fees.

Your legal and investor relations fees may also be higher if you need help to meet your company's continuous disclosure requirements, including financial statements or news releases.



 

Notice: The Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) is designed as a collaborative system for bringing together investors, issuers, companies, non-profit organizations and people interested in small eco-friendly, socially responsible and sustainable businesses, including those in the creative industry (music, art, movies, performances). The Green Stock Exchange is a “Web 3.0 eBAY.COM AUCTION STYLED” venue to allow for trading of shares directly between investors of SEC exempted Regulation A, SB-1, SB-2, small company offering registration (SCOR) shares and carbon trading under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

The Green Stock Exchange does not act as a stock broker-dealer, nor is a licensed broker-dealer. We also do not give advice on the merits of a trade or promote the shares traded or negotiate prices for the shares traded. Furthermore, investors are warned of the risk of liquidity since the shares on the Green Stock Exchange are not traded on any well known registered securities exchange or through NASDAQ; there is no guarantee that investors will be able to sell the issuer ’s shares at the price paid or at any particular indication of interest.

The Green Stock Exchange is currently in test mode only. This is not an offer of shares or a solicitation of an offer to buy the shares in any jurisdiction where it has not been qualified or lawful. No sale of shares may be made in any state unless pursuant to qualifications or an exemption from qualification, which also includes, Rule 254 of Regulation A, which allows an issuer to “test the waters” for a prospectus offering through a pre-offering solicitation of interest.
