Cap Table Advisory — frequently asked questions
A record of who owns what in a company, and how ownership changes with each funding round, option grant and exit. A well-modelled cap table shows the real dilution and exit proceeds.
Because liquidation preferences and structure mean headline ownership does not equal exit proceeds. The waterfall shows what each party actually receives at exit.
Two connected things: value-creation strategy and transformation (sharpening the equity story, operating and margin improvement, transaction readiness), and the hands-on execution behind a raise or restructuring — financial modelling (three-statement, DCF, LBO, project finance, 13-week cash flow), investor documentation (information memorandum, pitch deck, business plan, data room), fundraising support (strategy, investor mapping, outreach, term-sheet and cap-table advisory) and turnaround support (valuation, due-diligence prep, IBR, lender packs).
Yes. These services are delivered on a monthly retainer or per deliverable, so a company that needs strategy input, a model, an IM or a full fundraising process can bring in senior corporate finance capability without hiring a team.
Founders, promoters, developers and management teams that need capital and need the strategy, modelling, documentation and process done to an institutional standard — including businesses under time or liquidity pressure.
Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
