For Private Issuers · Canadian Exempt Market

An established sales team for your Exempt Market capital raise.

Bridge Advisory supports Private Issuers raising capital in the Canadian Exempt Market. Working with us gives you a sales team with decades of experience, along with the dealer connections and trust you would otherwise have to build yourself.

Why work with Bridge

Leverage relationships we've already built.

Building a dealer network from scratch takes years. You have to earn the attention of Exempt Market Dealers, gain the trust of their dealing representatives, and learn what they need before they'll consider an offering. We're already established and trusted, and the Private Issuers we support get to leverage that.

Experience

Decades in the Exempt Market.

Our team has spent decades in Canada's private capital markets. We know how dealers evaluate private offerings and what dealing representatives need to understand before they present one.

Connections

Established dealer relationships.

We have trusted relationships with Exempt Market Dealers and dealing representatives across Canada, and through them, access to established investor networks.

Trust

Credibility that extends to you.

Our credibility in the industry is extended to the Private Issuers we support, giving your offering a path to being considered by established dealing representatives.

Efficiency

A sales team without the build.

You get experienced marketing and wholesaling support for your raise, without the time and cost of hiring, training and managing your own dealer-facing team.

How it works

How we support your raise.

Our support runs through the whole raise, from understanding your offering to keeping dealers engaged with it.

STEP 1

Understand your offering

We get to know you, your team and your offering so we can represent it credibly to dealers.

STEP 2

Prepare marketing and training

We build the marketing materials and product training that help dealing representatives understand your offering.

STEP 3

Introduce it to dealers

We introduce your offering through our relationships with EMDs and dealing representatives, by wholesaling, events and campaigns.

STEP 4

Keep dealers engaged

Consistent updates and ongoing marketing keep representatives current on your offering throughout the raise.

Our dealer network

The dealer support behind your offering.

Exempt Market Dealers and dealing representatives are our customers and referral partners. We keep their trust by helping them understand where and how our Private Issuer partners' offerings fit, so they're well equipped to make their own suitability decisions for their clients.

Every offering we support is backed by the same dealer program: in-depth training, consistent updates and ongoing marketing.

We don't work with investors directly and we don't make suitability determinations. That responsibility stays with the dealer and the dealing representative.
