FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Is this tax or legal advice?

No. EquityAgents is informational, not professional advice. Confirm tax treatment with a tax advisor and legal terms with a startup attorney.

Can it tell me what my options are worth?

It shows scenarios based on the numbers you provide. Private company value is uncertain, so results are ranges, not promises.

Do you replace cap table software?

No. It helps you understand and clean up your numbers, whatever system you use.
