A Cap Table is a unique note secured by a convertible note and gives the holder, the borrower, a choice of conversion. This would be done by selling the note to a buyer who buys it at current market value. The Cap Table converts the entire loan into cash in exchange for a single note. The advantage to the seller is that, with a convertible note, he gets to enjoy two tax benefits.

The first is that if he purchases the note and the value does not appreciate, he can sell the note for the same amount he lent under the cap table. If startups appreciates, he gets to keep the difference between the amount he lent and the market price. If it depreciates, he gets to return the loaned amount minus the cost of acquisition to the holder. If he does not sell the note, he has no liability for income taxes. The second benefit is that if he owns property and decides to mortgage the note, he gets to mortgage the note for a fixed interest rate which is lower than the rate he would get on his own property.

It is important for the borrower to get a Cap Table. The purpose of doing this is to ensure that he never loses money through interest and principal. Even though the interest on the loan will not go down, there may be situations where the market drops. If this happens, the borrower may need to refinance his loan, which will result in further financial losses. The Cap Table ensures that if he were to refinance, he would not lose any more money.

A cap note is created when a company creates or sells an option for its stock to be sold either publicly or privately. The option is a right to buy or sell shares within a specified period of time at an agreed price. In this case, the holder of the option has an interest in that company. If the company becomes unprofitable, the holder of the option will sell his shares in the company. As such, the cap note enables him to get a lump sum payment if the company becomes unprofitable.

There are startups of cap notes - the first type is the restricted cap note and the second type is the unrestricted cap note. In the first type, the holder has an interest in the company. In the second type, the holder will have an interest only if the company becomes profitable. However, note holders should realize that there are some restrictions and limitations on the sale of their notes.

First, the mortgage note is secured by the real estate owned by the holder. Second, the mortgage notes cannot be sold until all of the debts of the business have been paid. Third, the debt servicing fees to be paid to the lender cannot exceed 10% of the value of the notes. Fourth, the holder's interest in the business cannot exceed the holder's investment. Lastly, the note must be held by a company registered under the appropriate law.

With cap table note holders, it is important for them to understand how to buy and sell their notes. Because cap holders own a stake of the business, they are required to follow certain rules. First, they cannot personally guarantee that a business will become profitable.

Second, they cannot guarantee that the price of the convertible note will increase. Last, they cannot guarantee that the value of the notes will increase over time. If they do so, then the note would be a "fallen trap" for them. Cap note holders should understand that they have a number of responsibilities when they own convertible notes. In order for them to make money by lending their notes, they should do what is necessary to keep their businesses viable and successful.
