For emerging companies,
choosing a stock transfer agent is a key decision, directly affecting the link
the company has with the investor market. A stock transfer agent is responsible
for ensuring that critical administrative aspects of stock transactions, including
the actual updating of share ownership names, are properly carried out. In
addition, they can facilitate stock issues, annual meetings, filings, perform
ownership verifications, assist with employee stock plans, and otherwise help
administer corporate actions relating to investors. The problem is that today’s
mega-agents often don’t have the time or interest to deal with the special
issues facing emerging companies. Small companies can easily get pushed to the
side and find agent access difficult. As a result, a gap can open between
company management and the important investor market, which in turn can affect
investor interest and financial progress.
From its founding in 1963,
New York based Continental Stock Transfer & Trust has been focused on addressing
the particular needs of small to medium emerging and growth companies. Unlike
the traditional one-size-fits-all approach too often forced on emerging
companies, Continental offers customized solutions to fit each client’s unique
requirements. The company has a management staff averaging over 20 years of
experience, and a support staff averaging over 14 years in the financial
industry.
It’s a commitment that has
paid off for Continental. For the fourth year in a row (2010 – 2013),
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust has been awarded the prestigious TALON
(Transfer Agent Leader Overall North America) Award, reflecting a ranking as
number one among all agents in North America for customer satisfaction, value,
and performance. Part of this is due to their perception of being a value
leader. They don’t increase revenue by charging clients on a per-request basis
or by selling unnecessary services. The company uses a flat-fee model for
corporate actions support, and for the past decade has been recognized in
industry surveys for the cost effectiveness of their services.
