North-South Investment Bank with a FINRA Broker Dealer in New York and Exempt Market Dealer in Toronto

Our mission at ArcStone Securities and Investments Corp. is to invigorate the financial ecosystem by supporting small-cap and micro-cap corporate clients through their journey to growth and sustainability. It is increasingly important for issuers to access US investors by considering all options in their capital raising strategy. Crowdfunding and online financing markets are changing the game quickly in how capital is raised. Most Canadian boutique investment banks find it challenging to handle sub $10 million financings and RTOs, especially for go-public transactions. By leveraging both the Canadian and US markets, ArcStone Securities and Investments Corp. will be one of the few players with a platform to exclusively focus on companies below $1 billion market capitalization.

“The world is changing at an ever faster pace and entrepreneurs from all kinds of new sectors are looking for fuel in the form of capital to grow their business. It takes a very skilled banker who wants to put the work in to understand a clients business and help an entrepreneur grow their business and the reality is very few want to do that and most want to come in after the business model has been proven out and de-risked. We like to partner with clients from the early days and help turn their vision into a success and take on a greater strategic advisory role with our clients than just being a regular “fee” chasing banker.”
