The smart choice for shares and options 

Dynamic equity management

Vestd is fully synced with Companies House, so your cap table is always accurate. The platform pulls and pushes data in both directions. This is the Vestd difference: you can actively manage your equity in one place, rather than using spreadsheets or basic platforms.

Companies House integration

Once you connect your company to Companies House via the platform you will get a single source of truth for all of your key data. Avoid filing docs and paperwork manually: the platform will do this automatically. You will be notified of any important deadlines for filings. 

Guided share scheme design

We provide a fully guided service for employee share schemes, or you can choose to self-serve. You'll get ongoing expert support and help with scheme management. Customer typically save thousands in fees over the lifetime of a scheme, compared with using traditional providers.

A fully digital platform

Issue shares directly via the platform and avoid manually filing the paperwork. Shareholder documents and resolutions can be created and signed online. Maintain a shareholder register and update PSCs. Conduct share transfers and buybacks without the manual admin.

Shareholder dashboards

Our recipient and shareholder dashboards allow people to track the value of their equity. Recipients can view their documents, as well as company updates and new valuations. Option holders can exercise their options digitally, without needing to fill out any forms.

Equity & share scheme specialists

Vestd is more than a platform. Our team of specialists are on standby to help you. We also have in-house valuation analysts - you can request up to four company valuations per year, including 409A valuations. Our customer service is unparalleled, as evidenced by our ratings and reviews.

Meet with Vestd

The platform itself allows you to manage all aspects of share and option management concisely in one place. The automations and integrations save you time. But while the platform is great, it is the team that makes Vestd stand out. From pre-sales to onboarding and the ever-helpful support team - not only do they support on the platform but provide excellent knowledge in this area.
