The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) in Canada has announced a new line-up of webinars for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The webinars are offered at no cost through the ‘OSC SME Institute’ which helps small businesses understand and navigate the requirements of being or becoming a public company in Ontario.

Some key topics covered in the webinars will include:
