The fall lineup of education sessions about options for raising capital for New Brunswick businesses were Friday.

As part of its Fullsail capital markets development initiative, the New Brunswick Securities Commission announced upcoming events throughout October and November.



“We offer these sessions to help improve the awareness of the options for raising capital for small and medium enterprises,” says Rick Hancox, executive director, NBSC. “The sessions also offer an opportunity for those considering raising capital to share ideas and network with their peers.” 



The three sessions are:

> Going Public: In cooperation with the TSX Venture Exchange and Pricewaterhouse-Coopers. There is a session on Thursday, 7 October, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 1005 Main St., Moncton and another on Friday, 8 October, at the Delta Brunswick Hotel, 45 King St., Saint John.

> Access to Capital: In cooperation with the Greater Sackville Chamber of Commerce. The session is on Wednesday, 20 October, at the Marshlands Inn, 55 Bridge St., Sackville.

> Alternative Trading Systems: A presentation by the Alpha Group on Friday, 19 November, at the Saint John Trade and Convention Centre, 1 Market Sq., Saint John.

These information sessions are intended for entrepreneurs, lawyers, accountants, students, academics and industry professionals. Learning the Ropes works to build awareness and understanding of the basics of securities regulation, financing and raising capital.
