OTCIQ Maintenance & Ongoing Compliance
Support your “Current Information” status year-round. We manage your OTCIQ profile, track regulatory deadlines, and coordinate periodic financial and news uploads.
OPERATIONAL DISCIPLINE
The Ongoing Work of Market Transparency
Securing your “Current Information” status on the OTC Markets is a major achievement, but keeping it requires continuous operational discipline. OTC Markets Group has specific ongoing reporting and profile-verification requirements. A missed upload, an unverified company profile, or an improperly formatted disclosure may lead to OTC status flags, investor concern, or quotation-related issues under the Rule 15c2-11 framework.
At Ishimbayev Law Firm, we act as outside securities counsel and disclosure support. Our OTCIQ Maintenance service removes the administrative burden from your executive team. We proactively manage your OTCIQ portal, helping your public disclosures stay accurate, legally reviewed, and submitted on a disciplined timeline.

Pre-Filing Legal Review
We do not treat uploads as a mechanical step. As your securities counsel, we review your financial narratives and press releases before they go public, identifying potential regulatory red flags or inconsistent statements before publication.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we miss an OTCIQ filing deadline?
If you miss a quarterly or annual filing deadline, OTC Markets may update your status indicator (often adding a “Yield” or “Stop” sign to your ticker). This can warn investors of compliance issues and may raise quotation, investor confidence, and liquidity concerns.
Does OTCIQ Maintenance include drafting the financial statements?
No. Your internal accounting team or external auditors are responsible for preparing the actual financial statements (balance sheets, income statements). Our firm handles the legal review, the structuring of the disclosure narrative, and the submission of those financials through the OTCIQ platform.
How is this service different from the initial OTCIQ Disclosure Package?
The initial Disclosure Package is a heavy-lift, one-time project designed to get you onto the platform, clear Rule 15c2-11 hurdles, and establish your baseline “Current Information” status. OTCIQ Maintenance is a recurring, subscription-based service to help preserve that status as you operate quarter-to-quarter.
