Cap Table
Also known as Capitalization Table
Definition
A capitalization table shows who owns the company and what securities, preferences, options, warrants, SAFEs, notes, or other economic rights affect proceeds. Clean cap tables reduce transaction delay and prevent surprises during diligence.
Cap table cleanup is exit-readiness work. Buyers and bankers need to know who can approve the deal, who gets paid, and what preferences or side agreements affect proceeds.
Messy ownership records create avoidable friction at the worst point in a process.
