Clean up your cap table before investors find the cracks
Most Irish startup cap tables look fine on a spreadsheet and fall apart under legal scrutiny. Shares issued but not filed. Option grants promised in email. Founder vesting that contradicts the shareholders agreement. SAFEs that will not convert cleanly. This review catches all of it — and gives you a prioritised fix list to bring your cap table up to investor-ready standard.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cap table and why does it need reviewing?
A capitalisation table (cap table) is the master record of who owns what in your Irish company — shares, share classes, options, convertibles, and the dilution effect of each. It needs reviewing because cap tables drift. Founders forget about a friend-and-family share issue, option grants are promised in emails and never documented, convertible instruments are layered on top without modelling their conversion. A broken cap table is the single most common reason an Irish startup’s funding round stalls in due diligence.
What does this health check include?
A full review of: the share register and CRO filings, every share issuance since incorporation, option grants and the KEEP / unapproved scheme documentation, convertible notes and SAFEs, shareholder agreement consistency, constitution alignment, dilution modelling for the next round, and a written report of every gap, inconsistency and risk — with a priority-ordered fix list.
What kinds of problems typically come up?
Common findings include: shares issued but never filed with the CRO, option grants referenced in emails but never formally granted, founder shares not aligned with the shareholders agreement, SAFEs or convertibles that will not convert cleanly, missing director or shareholder resolutions, and cap table spreadsheets that do not match the legal reality.
How much does a cap table review cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
How long does it take?
Typical pt of your cap table spreadsheet, constitution, shareholder agreements, and CRO filings.
Is this worth doing before I raise investment?
Unambiguously yes. Investors run a forensic cap table review as part of due diligence. Finding issues before they do — and being able to show a clean, documented, fixed cap table — dramatically strengthens your position in term-sheet negotiations. It is far cheaper to fix a cap table on a than to renegotiate valuation or indemnities because a gap emerged during DD.
Do you work with my accountant or existing advisors?
Yes.
