What is Cap Table? Definition, requirements, and how it applies to your business formation. Learn everything about capitalization table for LLCs and corporations.
# Capitalization Table
A capitalization table (cap table) is a spreadsheet or database that tracks all equity ownership in a company — who owns what percentage, what type of securities they hold (common stock, preferred stock, options, warrants, convertible notes, SAFEs), and how ownership changes with each transaction or funding round.
A clean cap table is essential for fundraising. Investors need to see exactly how much of the company they're buying, what dilution existing shareholders face, and what preferences and rights attach to each class of stock.
Lovie's CapTable product provides real-time cap table management integrated with your formation documents, ensuring equity records are accurate from incorporation through every funding round.
