WHO WE ARE


Freedom for Founders is the trade name of Grapple Corporation Inc., a mergers‑and‑acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm based at 508 Riverbend Dr., Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We partner with Premium Mergers & Acquisitions Inc. (PMA), a licensed Ontario brokerage, for any real‑estate components of a transaction.

REGULATORY STATUS & COMPLIANCE

• Not a securities dealer – incidental share transfers rely on private‑issuer or business‑transfer exemptions.

• Not a real‑estate brokerage – real‑property transactions are handled exclusively by PMA under Ontario’s Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA).

• AML / FINTRAC – we verify ID, beneficial ownership, and source‑of‑funds information when required.

• Export controls & sanctions – cross‑border deals may require permits or approvals.

• Conflicts – we act solely for the seller unless all parties sign a dual‑agency agreement.


AFFILIATED ENTITIES & REFERRAL FEES


FFF and PMA may share resources, referral fees, or co‑brokerage commissions. Such fees are never passed on to a buyer unless the purchase contract explicitly provides for it.
