Public Markets & Go-Public Advisory

Public markets and go-public advisory support.

Listing readiness and corporate finance project management support for companies pursuing public-market, reverse-takeover, capital-pool, or non-offering prospectus pathways.

What this service is

RwE Growth Partners supports companies evaluating, preparing for, or executing a public listing in Canada. Engagements cover public-market listings, reverse takeovers (RTO), capital pool company (CPC) qualifying transactions, and non-offering prospectus pathways.

Work focuses on listing readiness, project management of the listing workstreams, and the financial materials a listing requires. Securities counsel, transfer agents, exchanges, and licensed market participants run the regulated parts of the process; RwE coordinates with them and provides the analytical and project-management capacity.

Once listed, RwE can continue to support the issuer with the financial materials and analysis a public-issuer board requires — without acting in any regulated securities-dealer capacity.

When clients engage RwE

  • Evaluating a public listing pathway
    Comparison of available listing, reverse-takeover, capital-pool qualifying-transaction, and non-offering-prospectus pathways against the company's readiness, capital plan, and timing. Output is a structured recommendation the board can use to commit to a path.
  • Preparing a non-offering prospectus or listing statement
    Project management of prospectus or listing-statement preparation alongside securities counsel and the company's auditors. RwE drafts the financial and operating sections and runs the disclosure timeline; counsel takes the regulatory filing.
  • Executing a reverse takeover (RTO) or qualifying transaction
    End-to-end project management of an RTO or CPC qualifying transaction — counterparty diligence, valuation, financial model, prospectus support, exchange filings, and listing day. Coordinated with counsel and the exchange throughout.
  • Preparing investor and disclosure materials
    Investor presentations, fact sheets, MD&A first drafts, and ongoing public-issuer disclosure support sized for the company's news flow. Materials are consistent with the offering documents and reviewed for disclosure consistency.
  • Coordinating advisors during a listing process
    Running the workstream cadence between counsel, auditors, transfer agent, exchange, and licensed dealers so the company's CFO is freed up to focus on internal preparation rather than process management.
  • Ongoing public-issuer board and disclosure support
    Post-listing support for the board and CFO — quarterly disclosure preparation, periodic strategic reviews, financial updates for investor outreach. RwE remains independent of placement, distribution, or any regulated securities-dealing activity.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a securities dealer or underwriter?

No. RwE Growth Partners does not act as a securities dealer, agent, or underwriter. Listing-related activities are conducted in coordination with securities counsel, transfer agents, exchanges, and licensed market participants.

Which listing pathways do you support?

Engagements have supported public-market listings, reverse takeovers, capital pool company qualifying transactions, and non-offering prospectus pathways. The right pathway depends on the company's stage, sector, and capital plan.

Do you provide a recommendation on which pathway to list on?

Yes — listing-pathway analysis is a typical part of a readiness engagement. The recommendation is informed by the company's stage, sector, capital plan, and the regulatory and cost differences across pathways.

Can you support an issuer post-listing?

Yes. Engagements often extend into ongoing public-issuer support — board materials, investor presentations, and analysis around disclosure events — without acting in any regulated securities-dealer capacity.

How long does a listing process take?

Listing timelines vary widely by pathway, sector, and the company's readiness. RwE confirms a target timeline at scoping and updates the company as the process progresses.
