Dr. Allen Nazeri explains why the sale price you see isn't what you actually get. A cap table shows ownership percentages, and preferred shares, dilution, and investor rights can drastically reduce your payout. Prime Exits helps owners calculate their real take-home before selling.

If you don't understand your cap table, you don't understand your business. A cap table, short for capitalization table, is basically a breakdown of who owns your company and how much. Let's keep it simple. You own 60%, your partner owns 20%, investors own 20%. That's your cap table. When you sell your company, that percentage determines how the money gets split. So if you sell for $10 million and you only own 60%, you're not getting $10 million. And here's where it gets tricky. Preferred shares, dilution, and investor rights can change what you actually walk away with. At Prime Exits, we help owners understand their real take-home before they go to market.
