The disciplined path to OTCQB and the U.S. OTC market.

Before you spend six figures chasing Nasdaq, find out whether OTCQB is the right first U.S. market path — and whether you are actually ready for it.

Read this first

OTC listing is not automatic. Financing is not guaranteed. Form 211 is handled by a qualified market maker / broker-dealer, not the issuer — and not by us. Our role is readiness, diligence, documentation, and coordination with licensed professionals. We are not a broker-dealer, exchange, law firm, auditor, transfer agent, or investment adviser, and we are not a member of FINRA.

Why readiness first

We find the blockers before you spend the money.

We help growth companies assess whether they are genuinely ready for OTCQB or OTCQX, identify the issues that would stall an application before a dollar is committed, and prepare the evidence package that licensed market professionals — auditors, counsel, transfer agents, and market makers — will require.

04 — Perspective

Nasdaq is a destination. OTCQB can be the road. The mistake is spending for the destination before checking the road.

When a venture-stage company is too early, too small, or blocked by cost from a national exchange, the U.S. OTC market can be a measured first step — if the company is ready for its obligations.

05 — Questions

Asked before every engagement

Is OTCQB a stock exchange listing?
No. OTCQB is a market tier operated by OTC Markets Group, not a national securities exchange. Securities are quoted and traded over-the-counter through broker-dealers. It carries real disclosure obligations, but it is a different legal and regulatory category from Nasdaq or NYSE.
Can you get our company approved for OTCQB?
No one can promise that — and you should be cautious with anyone who does. Admission decisions belong to OTC Markets Group, quotation depends on a market maker's Form 211 being cleared, and SEC reporting depends on your filings. What we do is assess readiness, surface blockers early, and prepare the documentation licensed professionals need.
Who files Form 211?
A qualified market maker — a FINRA-member broker-dealer — files Form 211. The issuer cannot file it, and neither can we. We help you prepare the information package a market maker needs to be willing and able to sponsor quotation.
How much does OTCQB cost compared to Nasdaq?
OTC Markets Group publishes OTCQB fees of roughly $5,000 to apply and $6,000 per year. The larger costs are professional: PCAOB-registered audit, U.S. counsel, and a transfer agent. Taken together the path typically runs a fraction of a national-exchange IPO, but it is not free — which is exactly why readiness should be checked first.
Do Chinese companies face extra requirements?
Usually yes. Depending on structure: CSRC overseas-listing filing, SAFE registration, CAC data-security review for some data-rich businesses, and HFCAA-related auditor inspection considerations. These are mapped in our cross-border review before U.S. professionals are engaged.
Is financing or liquidity guaranteed after quotation?
No. Nothing about quotation guarantees financing, market-maker support, or trading liquidity. A quotation creates a venue and a disclosure track record; capital raising remains a separate, regulated activity conducted through licensed parties.
