Companies

The assets you own through a company

Register a company you hold shares in, put its assets inside it, and Vault counts your share of each one in your net worth. A company can own another company. The ladder resolves down to your actual economic share, which is the figure a spreadsheet gets wrong first.

The Companies screen listing companies with their ownership percentage and the value of what each holds.
Companies, each with your share of what it holds. Sample data. Every figure shown is invented.

Your share, not the whole balance sheet

Hold 40% of a company that owns a building and 200,000 in cash, and Vault adds 40% of both to your net worth — not the building, and not nothing. Ownership is recorded as capital entries with dates, so a raise that dilutes you changes the arithmetic from that date on.

Companies inside companies

A holding company that owns an operating company that owns a flat is three levels, and Vault walks all three. It refuses a structure that would make a company its own ancestor, which is the one case the arithmetic cannot resolve.

Held directly, held through companies

The dashboard splits the two and shows both: what stands in your own name, and what reaches you through a structure. Same asset classes, same currencies, one total.

Vault tracks ownership and value. It does not do company accounting, corporation tax, or statutory filings, and it is not a substitute for your accountant.
