But before we can talk about how to get your basic company report from Eqvista, let us understand what a basic company report is and where you will need it.

What is a Basic Company Report?

A basic company report is a report that includes all the primary issuances of the company. The report does not just show the main cap table and overview of things but also provides in-depth detail of all the issuances that have taken place in the company. You will be able to see all the shareholders in the company, the common equities, the preferred equities, options, warrants, and convertible notes.
