How TakePublic is different
Toppan Merrill is service-led: specialists handle document production, typesetting, filing support and capital-markets work. TakePublic is a platform: drafting starts from your books, counsel signs inside the product, and pricing is posted.

The TakePublic model
- Ledger numbersThe model reads summary and flux figures but never generates a statement figure.
- Counsel gateYour securities attorney, or for Forms 3, 4 and 5 your designated reviewer, signs off the exact document version before anything reaches EDGAR.
- Free counsel seatsYour securities counsel's seat is free; the company's subscription is the only paid account. TakePublic is not a law firm and does not replace your PCAOB auditor.
- One workspaceThe calendar, the counsel seat, insider forms and filing sit together; report drafts with tie-outs, and auditor access, come with Core.

Frequently asked questions
Is TakePublic a Toppan Merrill replacement?
For recurring domestic SEC reporting with in-product counsel sign-off and EDGAR filing, TakePublic covers the compliance back office. Deal-heavy financial printing and IPO production remain a service-bureau category. For proxy season, Core drafts the proxy statement, tags pay versus performance, gets counsel's sign-off and prepares the package for your agent; distribution goes to your Broadridge or Mediant campaign with the meeting facts in their format; TakePublic never mails or tabulates. Typesetting and printing stay with your distributor.
Do I still need an EDGAR filing agent?
Core can submit after counsel sign-off, or you can export and file through your own agent. Monitor keeps your existing agent and reconciles deadlines from EDGAR.
Can we keep our securities counsel?
Yes. Invite your attorney to the free counsel seat; sign-off stays personal to that attorney. TakePublic is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
What filings does TakePublic handle?
Core covers 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and NT notices with the counsel workflow; Section 16 covers Forms 3, 4, and 5. Registration statements and other forms are tracked on the Company calendar only.

See pricing Get startedTakePublic is a technology platform, not a law firm, broker-dealer, or auditor. Forms 3, 4 and 5 prepared in TakePublic file only after the reviewer the company designates, such as its securities counsel, signs off; any other filing prepared in TakePublic files only after a licensed securities attorney signs off.
