The problem, solved

Equity admin that outgrows your spreadsheets - until now.

Every UK company giving equity hits the same wall sooner or later. Vestd replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, PDFs and advisor email threads with one governed system.

The problem

01

Fragmented records

Cap tables, grants, vesting in separate sheets. Reconciliation only happens when something goes wrong.

02

HMRC filing anxiety

Annual returns, valuation triggers, Section 431 elections. Easy to miss and expensive to fix.

03

Advisor dependency

Every share movement becomes a paid email thread.
Founders lose visibility and momentum.

The solution

01

Live cap table

Always-on, audit-ready, and share class accurate. No more reconciling at quarter end again.

02

EMI & share schemes

Granting, vesting, exercise, all in one place. Including CSOP, Unapproved and Growth Shares.

03

HMRC filing

Annual returns generated and submitted with one click. No more chasing your accountant in July.

Engineered to scale

Built for every role,
in every stage of growth.

Founders, finance, people teams and investors all rely on the same equity record. We just give each of them the view they need.

Governance-grade equity, at
enterprise scale.

Audit trails, role-based access and board-ready reporting across a large, complex organisation. The numbers your auditor sees are the numbers the board sees - every time.

Live cap-table reconciliation across entities
Audit trail on every change, SOC 2 / ISO aligned
HMRC ERS filing automation
Board-ready exports on demand

Platform plus experts

You won't onboard alone.

Every Vestd customer gets a consultation. Every scheme is designed around the company, not a template. Software is the easy part - knowing what to do with it is where the value is, and our equity experts are here for the whole journey.

platform

Step 01

Free consultation, not a sign-up form

You start with a call, not a credit card. We work out what you need, what you don't and what to do first. No two companies get the same plan.

Step 02

Scheme designed around your business

EMI, growth shares, CSOP, unapproved. Vesting, milestones, leaver terms. We build it with you and our specialists handle the HMRC and legal heavy lifting.

Step 03

Ongoing expert support

Equity questions don't stop after onboarding. New grants, leaver events, valuations, exits. Our team stays available, with named account contacts as you scale.
