Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Summary of Accounting Principles | 1. Description of Business and Summary of Accounting Principles Description of Business and Concentrations Netcapital Inc. (“Netcapital,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a fintech company with a scalable technology platform that allows private companies to raise capital online and provides private equity investment opportunities to investors. The company's consulting group, Netcapital Advisors, provides marketing and strategic advice and takes equity positions in select companies with disruptive technologies. The Netcapital funding portal is registered with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a registered national securities association. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries are Netcapital Funding Portal Inc., an equity-based funding portal registered with the SEC, Netcapital Advisors Inc., which provides marketing and strategic advice to select companies, and MSG Development Corp, which was acquired in November 2021. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the tax authorities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it had no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure. Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 The Company recognizes service revenue from its consulting contracts, funding portal and game website using the five-step model as prescribed by ASC 606: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognition of revenue when or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which primarily are professional services, listing fees on our funding portal, and a portal fee of 4.9% of the money raised on the funding portal. The transaction price is determined based on the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the customer. The transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in an amount that represents the relative amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company usually bills its customers before it provides any services and begins performing services after the first payment is received. Contracts are typically one year or less. For larger contracts, in addition to the initial payment, the Company may allow for progress payments throughout the term of the contract. Judgments and Estimates The estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services, such as digital marketing, web-based videos, offering statements, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation, the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources, and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract. When agreements involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices (SSP) of each performance obligation. Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company sells a promised service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of observable market and cost-based inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies as necessary on a prospective basis. Service Revenue Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company's game website is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered. When a contract with a customer is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded as operating expenses against the contract asset (Accounts Receivable). Contract Assets Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services. Contract assets are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenues represent billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services and professional services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized as other current or non-current assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which approximates the benefit period. The benefit period was estimated by taking into consideration the length of customer contracts, technology lifecycle, and other factors. All sales commissions are recorded as consulting fees within the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Remaining Performance Obligations The Company's subscription terms are typically less than one year. All of the Company’s revenues in the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, which amounted to $ 5,480,835 and $ 4,721,003 , respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $ 2,532 and $ 622 , respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. Disaggregation of Revenue Our revenue is from U.S.-based companies with no notable geographical concentrations in any area. A distinction exists in revenue source; our revenues are either generated online or from personal services. Revenues disaggregated by revenue source consist of the following: Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue Year Ended Year Ended Consulting services $ 3,878,233 $ 3,886,022 Fees from online services 1,602,602 834,981 Total revenues $ 5,480,835 $ 4,721,003 Costs of Services Costs of services consist of direct costs that we pay to third parties in order to provide the services that generate revenue. Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of vested, unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted method. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents during fiscal 2022 and 2021. The Company uses three financial institutions for its cash balances and has maintained cash balances that exceed federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining an allowance for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable is reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the amount of receivables that will be collected. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 136,955 and $ 60,325 as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Notes Receivable The Company lends money to companies in limited instances, performs ongoing credit evaluations of its notes receivable and establishes an allowance for potential credit losses when appropriate. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with defined useful lives are generally measured at cost less straight-line amortization. The useful life is determined using the period of the underlying contract or the period of time over which the intangible asset can be expected to be used. Impairments are recognized if the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of either the fair value less costs to sell or the value in use. The value in use is determined on the basis of future cash inflows and outflows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trade names and trademarks, that have been acquired as part of acquisitions are measured at cost and tested for impairment annually, or if there is an indication that their value has declined. The following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of April 30, 2022 and 2021 Schedule of intangible assets April 30, 2022 April 30, 2021 Acquired users $ 14,288,695 $ 14,271,836 Acquired brand 583,429 532,118 Professional practice 556,830 — Literary works and contracts 107,750 — Total intangible assets $ 15,536,704 $ 14,803,954 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Authoritative guidance requires that certain assets be reviewed for impairment and, if impaired, remeasured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment loss estimates are primarily based upon management’s analysis and review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, utilizing an undiscounted future cash flow calculation. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss in fiscal 2022 and 2021. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including the vesting of restricted stock grants to employees, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to common stock and capital in excess of par value during the period during which services are rendered. Advertising Expenses Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded separately in the Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. Equity Securities All investments in equity securities are initially measured at cost. Cost is based upon either the cost of the investment, the fair value of the services provided or the estimated market value of the investment at the time it was acquired, whichever can be more clearly determined. If the Company identifies an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, the Company measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimate relates to investments, the allowance for doubtful accounts and the calculation of stock-based compensation for the stock options. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances. |

In connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, that the Company may not convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of its business or property, except as permitted in the agreement, dissolve, liquidate or merge with any other party unless, in the case of a merger, the Company is the surviving entity, incur any indebtedness except as defined in the agreement, create or allow a lien on any of its assets or collateral that has been pledged to the Lender, make any loans to any person, except for prepaid items or deposits incurred in the ordinary course of business, or make any material capital expenditures. To secure the payment of all obligations to the Lender, the Company granted to the Lender a continuing security interest and first lien on all of the assets of the Company. On February 9, 2022, the Company issued and sold in a private placement $300,000 of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “February 2022 Notes”). These notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and have a maturity date of February 9, 2023. In addition, the February 2022 Notes will automatically convert simultaneously with the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing (as defined below) into a number of securities sold in the Qualified Equity Financing equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) an amount equal to the amount of the February 2022 Notes outstanding on the closing date of such Qualified Equity Financing by (b) a conversion price equal to the lesser of (1) $10.00 and (2) 80% of the price per share paid for securities sold in such Qualified Equity Financing upon the closing of such Qualified Equity Financing. A “Qualified Equity Financing” means the offer and sale for cash by us of any of our equity securities with the principal purpose of raising capital and that results in aggregate gross proceeds to us of at least $5,000,000. As of April 30, 2022 and 2021, unsecured convertible promissory notes totaled $300,000 and 0, respectively. As of April 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s related-party unsecured notes payable totaled $22,860. The Company also owes $34,324 as of April 30, 2022 and 2021 to Chase Bank. For the loan from Chase Bank, the Company pays interest only on a monthly basis, which is calculated at a rate of 7.0% per annum. On May 6, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “May Loan”), on June 17, 2020 the Company borrowed $500,000 (the “June Loan”), and on February 2, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “February Loan”) from a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan program. The May loan bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum and the SBA postponed any installment payments until September 6, 2021. In November 2021 the May Loan was forgiven in its entirety, including accrued interest of $18,502. As a result, the Company recognized debt forgiveness of $1,904,296 in the year ended April 30, 2022. The June Loan required installment payments of $2,594 monthly, beginning on June 17, 2021, over a term of thirty years. However, the SBA has postponed the first installment payment for 18 months. Interest accrues at a rate of 3.75% per annum. The Company agreed to grant a continuing security interest in its assets to secure payment and performance of all debts, liabilities, and obligations to the SBA. The June Loan was personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The February loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and the due date of the first payment has been postposed by the SBA because the Company has applied for forgiveness of the February Loan in its entirety. As of April 30, 2022, future payments under debt obligations over each of the next five years and thereafter were as follows: Schedule of future payments under debt obligations Twelve months ended April 30: 2023 $ 3,647,911 2024 12,126 2025 12,563 2026 13,016 2027 13,485 Thereafter 443,883 Minimum future payments of principal $ 4,142,984 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures of financial instruments on a recurring basis. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable In general, carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Fair Value Hierarchy The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of April 30, 2022 and 2021: Schedule of Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total April 30, 2022 Equity securities at fair value $ — $ 12,861,253 $ — $ 12,861,253 April 30, 2021 Equity securities at fair value $ — $ 6,298,008 $ — $ 6,298,008 Determination of Fair Value Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company bases its fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon management’s own estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, that could significantly affect the results of current or future value. See Note 1 for a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value where it is practicable to do so for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (disclosures required by the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification). |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Business Acquisition | 11. Business Acquisition On November 2, 2021, the owners of ValuCorp Inc. (“ValuCorp”), a business valuation firm, formed a new company MSG Development Corp. (“MSG”) and transferred most of the assets of ValuCorp to MSG. The Company entered into an exchange agreement (“Agreement”) whereby the Company received 100% of the outstanding shares of MSG in exchange for 75,000 shares of common stock of the Company. 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in December 2021 and four annual installments of 6,250 shares are due over the next four years. The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired in the purchase of MSG. The value assigned to the professional practice was derived using multi-period excess earnings methods under the income approach. This approach estimates the excess earnings generated over the lives of the customers that existed as of the acquisition date and discounts such earnings to present value. The customers, the business practice and other intangible assets are deemed to have a useful life of fifteen years and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life. MSG’s assets were less than 20% of the value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s investment in MSG is less than 20% of the Company’s market value. Furthermore, the revenue and operating income of MSG’s predecessor, ValuCorp, for the prior two years, is less than 20% of the revenue and operating income of the Company. Upon evaluation of the components of the business combination, including the relative voting rights in the combined entity, the composition of the governing body and senior management of the combined entity, the relative size of each entity and the terms of the exchange of equity interests, the Company recorded the transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as a purchase. The following table summarizes the value of the consideration for MSG and the amounts of the assets acquired in conjunction with the Agreement. MSG had no liabilities. Schedule of Merger agreement Total consideration: 75,000 shares of common stock of the Company $ 732,750 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired: Professional practice intangible $ 556,830 Technology-related intangibles 36,650 Marketing-related intangibles 14,660 Computer-related intangibles 49,111 Customer-related intangibles 16,859 Contract-related intangibles 36,650 Human capital and artistic-related intangibles 21,990 Total identifiable net assets $ 732,750 The fair value of the common shares issued as the consideration for MSG was determined by the most recent closing price of the Company’s common shares at the time the shares were issued. Seven identifiable intangible assets were valued, as noted in the above table (the “Intangible Assets”). The estimated market value of the Intangible Assets on the date of purchase was $1,000,000, and the value of the 75,000 shares of common stock of the Company, payable as consideration was $9.77 per share, or $732,750. The value of the Intangible Assets has been recorded at an aggregate value of $732,750. None of MSG’s revenues and earnings are included in the Company’s consolidated income statements through the day of closing of November 8, 2021. The consolidated income statements for the year ended April 30, 2022, include $250,100 in revenues from MSG for the period November 8, 2021 to April 30, 2022. MSG was a newly formed company with no operations when it was purchased. It had intangible assets that were contributed by its founder (the “Founder”) and no liabilities. Consequently, there are no supplemental pro forma revenues and earnings to report. In conjunction with the purchase of MSG, the Company retained the Founder, who is a valuation professional, to operate the business. The parties agreed that Founder shall receive the first $360,000 in gross profits per year as his compensation, that the Company would receive the next $720,000 per year in gross profits and any gross profits beyond $1,080,000 per year shall be split one-third to the Founder and two-thirds to the Company. On August 23, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) whereby Netcapital Systems LLC (“Systems”) would become an 80% owner of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of this agreement, the Company filed a definitive information statement on Form 14C on September 21, 2020 to change the Company’s corporate name from ValueSetters, Inc. to Netcapital Inc. and to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a stock combination, or reverse stock split, pursuant to which 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock would be exchanged for one new share of common stock. In conjunction with the merger agreement, the Company issued 1,666,360 shares of common stock to Systems on November 5, 2020. The Agreement was a tax-free merger of Netcapital Funding Portal Inc. (“FP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Systems, with Netcapital Acquisition Vehicle Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, wherein FP was the surviving corporation. This transaction was designed to enhance the Company’s revenues and ability to provide services to democratize the private capital markets while helping companies at all stages to build, grow and fund their businesses with a full range of services from strategic advice to raising capital. As a result of the transaction, the Company is expected to be a leading provider of private capital transactions for entrepreneurs seeking to raise money under the exemption provided by section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, which allows private companies to raise up to $5 million every 12 months. ASC 805-10-25-4 requires the identification of one of the combining entities in each business combination as the acquirer. Upon evaluation of the components of the business combination, including the relative voting rights in the combined entity, the composition of the governing body and senior management of the combined entity, the relative size of each entity and the terms of the exchange of equity interests, the Company recorded the transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as a purchase. In conjunction with the purchase, Systems agreed to vote all of its shares of common stock to support the resolutions of the existing board of directors of the Company. The following table summarizes the value of the consideration for FP and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the Agreement. Schedule of Merger agreement Consideration: 1,666,360 shares of common stock of the Company $ 11,331,248 Payment of promissory notes and interest 3,817,516 Total consideration $ 15,148,764 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed: Cash $ 358,634 Current assets 8,894 Accounts payable (22,718 ) Platform users 7,080,319 Platform investors 6,288,392 Platform issuers 903,125 Unpatented technology 532,118 Total identifiable net assets $ 15,148,764 The fair value of the common shares issued as the consideration for FP was determined by the most recent (the prior day’s) closing price of the Company’s common shares at the time the shares were issued. The fair value of the assets and the liabilities of FP equaled their book value. Four identifiable intangible assets were valued; platform users, platform investors, platform issuers and unpatented technology (collectively the “Intangible Assets”). The estimated market value of the Intangible Assets is approximately $27,800,000. This amount is derived from valuing the IP functionality, brand, and license of FP at $1,000,000; valuing current issuers and pipeline issuers at approximately $14,000 each; valuing platform users at $382 each; and valuing investors at $1,025 each. These values are derived from comparing the FP Intangible Assets to the values recorded by funding portal offerings of FP’s competitors in public filings via Regulation CF and Regulation A. The excess of purchase price over the total identifiable tangible net assets of $344,810, leaves an aggregate value of $14,803,954 to be assigned to the Intangible Assets. The estimated value of the $27,800,000 of Intangible Assets is allocated on a percentage basis in the above table to equal $14,803,954. None of FP’s revenues and earnings are included in the Company’s consolidated income statements through the day of closing of November 5, 2020. The consolidated income statements for the year ended April 30, 2021 include $834,981 in revenues from FP. If the entities had been combined for the two reporting periods, the supplemental pro forma revenues and earnings are as follows: Schedule of Pro forma revenue and earnings Revenues Earnings Supplemental pro forma for 4/1/20 – 11/04/20 $ 2,866,063 $ 282,264 Supplemental pro forma for 4/1/19 – 11/04/19 $ 1,018,200 $ 680,212 Included in the supplemental pro forma information above is revenue earned by the Company from Netcapital Systems LLC of $ 18,646 and $ 152,864 in the periods ended November 4, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Each quarter the Company reviews events and circumstances to determine if impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets is indicated. During the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not identify any triggering events or circumstances, including impacts due to COVID-19, which would indicate an impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | 12. Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. On July 14, 2022, the Company paid in full two outstanding convertible promissory notes and accrued interest payable totaling $310,192 by the issuance of 93,432 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company also issued 39,901 shares of common stock to pay off the $294,054 balance of supplemental consideration due to Netcapital Systems LLC. See Note 9. On July 15, 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.15 per share and warrant. The gross proceeds from the offering were $5,000,750 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $5.19, are exercisable immediately, and expire five years from the date of issuance. In conjunction with this offering, the shares and warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on July 13, 2022, under the ticker symbols “NCPL” and “NCPLW,” respectively. In addition, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 180,750 shares of common stock and/or up to 180,750 additional warrants to cover over-allotments, if any. In connection with the closing of the offering, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option and purchased an additional 111,300 warrants. The underwriter retains the right to exercise the balance of its over-allotment option within the 45-day period. On July 21, 2022 the company paid $1 million to its secured lender, Vaxstar LLC, to reduce the principal balance on its debt from $1,400,000 to $400,000. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries are Netcapital Funding Portal Inc., an equity-based funding portal registered with the SEC, Netcapital Advisors Inc., which provides marketing and strategic advice to select companies, and MSG Development Corp, which was acquired in November 2021. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the tax authorities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it had no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure. |
Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 | Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 The Company recognizes service revenue from its consulting contracts, funding portal and game website using the five-step model as prescribed by ASC 606: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognition of revenue when or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which primarily are professional services, listing fees on our funding portal, and a portal fee of 4.9% of the money raised on the funding portal. The transaction price is determined based on the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the customer. The transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in an amount that represents the relative amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company usually bills its customers before it provides any services and begins performing services after the first payment is received. Contracts are typically one year or less. For larger contracts, in addition to the initial payment, the Company may allow for progress payments throughout the term of the contract. |
Judgments and Estimates | Judgments and Estimates The estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services, such as digital marketing, web-based videos, offering statements, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation, the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources, and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract. When agreements involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices (SSP) of each performance obligation. Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company sells a promised service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of observable market and cost-based inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies as necessary on a prospective basis. |
Service Revenue | Service Revenue Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company's game website is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered. When a contract with a customer is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded as operating expenses against the contract asset (Accounts Receivable). |
Contract Assets | Contract Assets Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services. Contract assets are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period. |
Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue Deferred revenues represent billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services and professional services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract | Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized as other current or non-current assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which approximates the benefit period. The benefit period was estimated by taking into consideration the length of customer contracts, technology lifecycle, and other factors. All sales commissions are recorded as consulting fees within the Company's consolidated statement of operations. |
Remaining Performance Obligations | Remaining Performance Obligations The Company's subscription terms are typically less than one year. All of the Company’s revenues in the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, which amounted to $ 5,480,835 and $ 4,721,003 , respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $ 2,532 and $ 622 , respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. |
Disaggregation of Revenue | Disaggregation of Revenue Our revenue is from U.S.-based companies with no notable geographical concentrations in any area. A distinction exists in revenue source; our revenues are either generated online or from personal services. Revenues disaggregated by revenue source consist of the following: Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue Year Ended Year Ended Consulting services $ 3,878,233 $ 3,886,022 Fees from online services 1,602,602 834,981 Total revenues $ 5,480,835 $ 4,721,003 |
Costs of Services | Costs of Services Costs of services consist of direct costs that we pay to third parties in order to provide the services that generate revenue. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of vested, unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted method. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents during fiscal 2022 and 2021. The Company uses three financial institutions for its cash balances and has maintained cash balances that exceed federally insured limits. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining an allowance for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable is reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the amount of receivables that will be collected. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 136,955 and $ 60,325 as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
Notes Receivable | Notes Receivable The Company lends money to companies in limited instances, performs ongoing credit evaluations of its notes receivable and establishes an allowance for potential credit losses when appropriate. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Intangible assets with defined useful lives are generally measured at cost less straight-line amortization. The useful life is determined using the period of the underlying contract or the period of time over which the intangible asset can be expected to be used. Impairments are recognized if the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of either the fair value less costs to sell or the value in use. The value in use is determined on the basis of future cash inflows and outflows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trade names and trademarks, that have been acquired as part of acquisitions are measured at cost and tested for impairment annually, or if there is an indication that their value has declined. The following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of April 30, 2022 and 2021 Schedule of intangible assets April 30, 2022 April 30, 2021 Acquired users $ 14,288,695 $ 14,271,836 Acquired brand 583,429 532,118 Professional practice 556,830 — Literary works and contracts 107,750 — Total intangible assets $ 15,536,704 $ 14,803,954 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Authoritative guidance requires that certain assets be reviewed for impairment and, if impaired, remeasured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment loss estimates are primarily based upon management’s analysis and review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, utilizing an undiscounted future cash flow calculation. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss in fiscal 2022 and 2021. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including the vesting of restricted stock grants to employees, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to common stock and capital in excess of par value during the period during which services are rendered. Advertising Expenses Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded separately in the Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. Equity Securities All investments in equity securities are initially measured at cost. Cost is based upon either the cost of the investment, the fair value of the services provided or the estimated market value of the investment at the time it was acquired, whichever can be more clearly determined. If the Company identifies an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, the Company measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimate relates to investments, the allowance for doubtful accounts and the calculation of stock-based compensation for the stock options. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Authoritative guidance requires that certain assets be reviewed for impairment and, if impaired, remeasured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment loss estimates are primarily based upon management’s analysis and review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, utilizing an undiscounted future cash flow calculation. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss in fiscal 2022 and 2021. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including the vesting of restricted stock grants to employees, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to common stock and capital in excess of par value during the period during which services are rendered. |
Advertising Expenses | Advertising Expenses Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded separately in the Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. |
Equity Securities | Equity Securities All investments in equity securities are initially measured at cost. Cost is based upon either the cost of the investment, the fair value of the services provided or the estimated market value of the investment at the time it was acquired, whichever can be more clearly determined. If the Company identifies an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, the Company measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimate relates to investments, the allowance for doubtful accounts and the calculation of stock-based compensation for the stock options. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances. |
