A cap table is an overview of how ownership in a company is distributed among its shareholders.

What is a cap table?

A cap table (capitalisation table) is an overview showing how ownership in a limited company is distributed — which shareholders there are, how many shares they hold, of which share class and what percentage of the company this represents.

 

Why does a cap table matter?

For startups, investors and VC/PE firms a correct cap table is crucial, especially ahead of capital raising or due diligence. It changes after every share issue, transfer of shares or stock option program. In NVR your cap table updates automatically from the share ledger — learn more about cap tables.
