Financing: The Legal Perspective

Presented by Invest Ottawa partner,

The legal nuts and bolts of debt and equity financing

Every entrepreneur starting a new business knows that capital is needed to start and run a business.  Do you find it yourself, reach out to family and friends to borrow money or issue shares, borrow from financial institutions, or do a round of equity financing through a private placement with angel investors or venture capital firms?  Every growth phase in your business may require a different approach to raising capital and this workshop will cover a number of areas of interest to rising entrepreneurs.

 In this session, participants will learn:

  • How to best structure your company for raising money
  • Getting started…is it best to lend money to my business or should I inject capital by issuing shares?
  • What steps can I take to protect myself and my company when the company is the borrower?
  • What are the rights and obligations of shareholders…the role of a shareholders’ agreement?
  • How do I go about raising money for my company?
  • Raising capital…key documents to consider including subscription and shareholder agreements, convertible debentures.
  • Ontario Securities Act compliance issues for private companies raising capital.
