Cap Table Notes - How to Find the Best Deals on Conversions A Cap Table Convertible Note is a unique type of note that offers an owner the ability to convert their notes into cash. This allows the holder to receive the lump sum of cash upfront without having to wait years upon years in order to recoup the capital. In most cases, these types of convertible notes are sold by private investors. However there are some companies and institutions that issue these types of convertible notes directly to buyers. In order for a convertible note to work properly the buyer must first offer to buy the note. The convertible note is considered a security when this occurs. If the buyer does not offer to buy the note then the seller has no obligation to the buyer. On the other hand, if the seller does offer to purchase the note a contract will be formed. The contract details the terms of the sale, including the price that will be paid for the note. If you are interested in selling your cap table note consider taking several factors into consideration before beginning the process. First, Two12 should contact the seller to find out the value of the note. The potential seller should be happy to provide you with information regarding the cap. If the information provided to you indicates that the note is valued at more than the actual purchase amount you may want to consider the ramifications of purchasing the note. If the offer price does not meet the current market cap you should offer more than the current market price. If you determine that the offer is too high the seller may be willing to lower the offer. There is also the possibility that they will continue to sell the note if it is worth more than what you are offering. Before purchasing the note you should have discussed this matter with the seller. You should also look at the terms of the cap table note. Many notes have early redemption provisions. These provisions are designed to allow the holder of the note to take back the amount of principal and interest owed on the cap when it is paid off. If this provision is violated your interests as the seller will not be protected from such actions. You should also consider the terms of the purchase of the note. The note will be a lien against the principal balance of the business. When the owner of the business dies the holder of the note will be able to collect payments from the purchaser. The Cap Table note will continue to grow until all of the principal is paid off. If the amount due to the purchaser does not cover the cap amount your interest as the holder of the note will be subject to being forfeited. Two12 of the worst things that can happen is for you to be the purchaser of a poorly run business. If you purchase the note you could be stuck holding the bag for the payment. You should carefully research any business before making any kind of purchase. You should also ask a lot of questions regarding the company's financial records. Be sure to ask the owners what their expenses have been recently and how they intend on paying down debt. A convertible note allows you to convert an interest only note to a fully interest bearing note. This means that the holder of the note will now have to pay interest on the full amount which is now due. This is not something that you want to get into. It is best to purchase these notes only with the help of a knowledgeable expert. An expert will be able to provide you with the information that you need in order to make an informed decision in regards to the purchase of any convertible notes.
