Your Due Diligence Journey

FrontFundr's key steps to investor-readiness.

Four-step due diligence journey: Document Collection - gathering business materials; Analysis & Inquiry - feedback on raising strategy; Investment Committee - approval for listing; Offering Documents - review for launch preparation.

Raising Funds With More Than 50 Shareholders

Raising capital from more than 50 investors is easier than most founders think. A common misconception is that exceeding this number is complicated or creates extra compliance. The only requirement is a single filing with provincial securities regulators: the Report of Exempt Distribution.

At FrontFundr, we handle this filing for you and provide clear instructions on deadlines and submission. Beyond that, there’s no added complexity, and you can raise from everyone who believes in your vision, including:

  • Friends, family, and business associates
  • Angel investors and venture capital
  • Social media followers and other supporters

Going over 50 shareholders does not slow your raise, increase compliance risk, or limit your investor pool—it actually unlocks a broader community of supporters who can contribute capital and advocate for your company.

Simplify Governance With a Voting Trust Agreement

Managing a large number of investors can feel overwhelming—but with a Voting Trust Agreement (VTA), it’s simple.

  • Investors assign their voting rights to a trustee (typically the founder or CEO).
  • The trustee votes on their behalf according to the VTA, centralizing decision-making and ensuring consistency.
  • The VTA consolidates all participating investors into a single cap table entry, making ownership easier to track.

For your company:

  • Streamlines governance and decision-making
  • Frees you to focus on running your business
  • Keeps your cap table organized for future fundraising

For investors:

  • Maintains ownership and financial participation
  • Removes stress about submitting votes on time

By combining multiple investors under one cap table line, the VTA reduces administrative burden, simplifies governance, and lets you scale your raise with confidence.
