A : Typically, the costs of doing a reverse merger (see below) can run anywhere between $100,000 – $300,000**. This cost will get you public and listed on the Pinksheets Market which is a division of the OTCBB (Over The Counter Bulliten Board). The cost to go public on the OTCBB itself rather than Pinksheets is slightly higher and extensive audits of your past financials are required.
**Complete Advisory Partners covers this expense. Out of pocket cost for you – zero.
