What is included in this service
Our 409A valuation service provides an independent, IRS-compliant fair market value analysis of your company’s common stock, supported by a thorough review of financial statements, capitalization structure, and market comparables. Using accepted valuation methodologies and applying appropriate discounts, we deliver a formal written report that is fully defensible before auditors and regulators, ensuring safe harbor protection under IRS 409A. The service also includes periodic updates following major financing events or company changes, giving you confidence that option grants remain compliant and properly supported.
Captable
A cap table solution is a software platform that centralizes all of a company’s ownership and equity data in one place, replacing complex spreadsheets with a streamlined system of record. It tracks founders’ shares, employee stock options, SAFEs, convertible notes, preferred stock, warrants, and other securities, giving companies and investors clear visibility into current ownership, dilution, and future scenarios. Beyond simple tracking, a cap table solution automates updates after new financings or employee grants, generates reports for board members and auditors, and helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as 409A valuations. By providing a single source of truth, it reduces administrative burden, improves transparency, and supports smarter decision-making as the business grows and raises new rounds of capital.
409A Document Collection (Auto-pilot)
We store all ownership, financial, and tax information as part of the entity and compliance package, allowing you to put your 409A on auto-pilot each year and seamlessly distribute reports to investors and the IRS.
To complete a 409A valuation, the provider typically requires a combination of company, financial, and capitalization data, including:
Corporate Information: Legal entity details, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and any amendments.
Capitalization Table: Current equity ownership, preferred stock, common stock, options, warrants, SAFEs, convertible notes, and details of outstanding equity grants.
Recent Financing Documents: Term sheets, stock purchase agreements, or other documents from the latest funding rounds.
Financial Statements: Historical income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements (usually for the last 2–3 years, if available).
Financial Projections: Forecasts of revenue, expenses, and cash flows (typically 3–5 years).
Business Information: Industry overview, competitive landscape, company strategy, and key milestones.
Board Materials: Investor presentations, strategic plans, or other materials that describe the company’s outlook.
Other Relevant Agreements: Option plans, shareholder agreements, or investor rights agreements that affect equity rights.
We handle the red tape so you can stay focused on launching and growing.
