A "venture issuer" under the securities laws of the Canadian provinces, is typically a junior public company. The term is defined in a few different places in slightly different ways. See for example, National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations which is available on the websites of various securities commissions. Generally speaking it is an issuer that has securities (usually shares) listed only on one or more of the following: the TSX Venture Exchange, the Canadian Quotation and Trading System, the U.S. OTC Bulletin Board, the AIM Market in London or certain other specified junior markets. In some cases larger companies that only have outstanding debt securities that trade on one or more of these markets would also be considered "venture issuers". A venture issuer would not have its securities listed on one of the senior markets such as TSX, Nasdaq or NYSE. Because venture issuers tend to be less developed with fewer financial resources, they are sometimes subject to different rules. For example, they are given a longer time period to prepare their financial statements (120 days instead of 90 days for annual financials.) This is in recognition that they are competing for limited auditing resources with much larger companies. In other circumstances, venture issuers are subject to additional rules, for example they must provide extra disclosure of expenditures since how they spend their more limited financial resources can be very significant.
A non-venture issuer is a type of public company that does not qualify as a venture issuer under securities regulations. Unlike venture issuers, which are typically smaller, early-stage companies with limited assets and revenues, non-venture issuers are generally larger, more established companies that have more extensive reporting requirements. They may trade on major stock exchanges and are subject to stricter regulatory oversight. Non-venture issuers often have a broader investor base and may be involved in various sectors of the economy.

Definition of 'Capital Pool Company (TSX Venture)'A new, fledgling company trading on Canada's TSX Venture exchange that has no commercial operations and no assets except for cash. A capital pool company (CPC) uses its cash holdings to evaluate promising businesses or assets that it would acquire in a qualifying transaction, which it has to complete within 24 months of listing. Companies trading as a CPC have a "P" after their ticker symbol. The completion of the qualifying transaction would enable the CPC to list as a standard Tier 1 or Tier 2 issuer on the TSX Venture exchange.
A co-issuer is a party, typically a financial institution or entity, that is jointly responsible for issuing a financial security or instrument along with another issuer. Both co-issuers share the obligations and liabilities associated with the issuance of the security.
