Why NOT List:

Just as there are reasons to list, there are also many reasons not to list. In order to help you make this decision we have outlined below some common reasons why gTrade might not be a good fit for you:

Answer to Shareholders

By listing on gTrade you are using investors' money to help build and expand your business. As such you will be required to conduct a quarterly meeting at minimum to provide your shareholders with an update. If you are not prepared to meet this requirement in return for their investment, then using gTrade to raise your capital is probably not the best fit for you.

Reporting Requirements

Following on from the meeting updates requirements for shareholders, you will also be required to produce some financial reports. These reports are to provide transparency to the investors and let them know where their money is going. Don't worry too much about preparing the reports, we will provide you with templates and help in getting them out on time and correctly.

I Need $1m+ Now

If you require this amount of money in your Initial Public Offering (IPO) then gTrade is not for you. The very nature of gTrade does not lend itself to raising these large amounts of capital in your first few financing rounds. If you need this kind of money, you are best to source your funding from traditional venture capital funding.

Getting You Out of Financial Trouble

If you are planning on using gTrade to rescue your flailing business, then this is not a good idea for you or us. It will become evident in our due diligence as to whether you are having financial troubles or not. So if you are having financial troubles, try reviewing your business methods and clearly state this in your business plan submission if you decide to proceed.
