Going Over 50 Shareholders
One of the misconceptions of raising money from more than 50 investors is that it is a big deal and hassle. But in reality, there isn’t much change. The only change is that companies with more than 50 shareholders have one page-filing requirement with provincial securities regulators called The Report of Exempt Distribution. At FrontFundr, we prepare this document and provide you with instructions on when the filing deadlines are and how to file it.
Going over 50 shareholder isn’t complicated and time-consuming, nor does it create additional compliance complexity. You can still raise from your family and friends, accredited investors, angels, VC’s, the crowd, and any other investor.

Voting Trust Agreement (VTA)
With our Voting Trust Agreement (VTA) we eliminate the hassle of managing a
large number of shareholders and streamline your corporate governance.
New investors agree to assign their voting rights to a trustee (the founder or
CEO) who casts votes for them when required. To protect the trustee from a
liability perspective, we structure the trust as a “Bare Trust” meaning that the
discretion over the way the trustee votes is removed and specified in the VTA.
For your company, this has the effect of streamlining your corporate governance and providing more freedom to undertake the day-to-day demands of running a business. For any future investors, this eliminates their concerns with a large number of investors on your cap table. For investors, this relieves the stress of submitting their votes in a timely fashion but allows them to be owners and participate in the financial benefit of the company.
Investment Review Committee (IRC)
FrontFundr's IRC is comprised of an internal due diligence team, key management and outside investment professionals who review the business and determine if the company is ready for inclusion on the platform.
IRC approval meetings take one hour, during which management for the issuer is requested to take part to answer any questions from the committee and address any concerns they may have.
It is also a great opportunity for an issuer to communicate their business goals and relay their growth plan for the future – important skills to have when speaking with any investor.
FrontFundr is an Exempt Market Dealer (EMD) under Canadian securities legislation and provides advice about the suitability of all investment opportunities.
These investment opportunities have risks and may result in the loss of all or most of your investment. You may receive limited ongoing information about a company or an investment made through FrontFundr.
