Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company Focuses on Emerging Companies

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.
