Digitise your company share scheme | Vestd

800x500 - ISO

FCA-regulated & ISO-certified

Equity matters to your employees, investors, and regulators, and your platform provider should reflect that. Vestd is FCA-regulated and ISO-certified, the right foundation for organisations where governance, data security, and regulatory standing matter.

3 Endless admin-2

Centralised & secure

Clear legal documentation keeps rights, obligations, and tax treatment transparent for everyone involved. Vestd digitises and centrally stores your share scheme documents, version-controlled and ready when needed, with gold-standard templates available if required.

1 Compliance-1

Companies House integration & automation

Updating shareholder records and filing statutory forms manually is slow and error-prone. Vestd's Companies House sync keeps everything aligned automatically, cap tables accurate, and filings straightforward, including SH01s and a real-time, auditable register.

Share scheme expertise-1

Scheme member management

The admin behind a share scheme can quietly eat your week. Vestd reduces the burden with personalised dashboards, bulk leaver processing, and tools to help members model future value, understand tax implications, and exercise their options.

Why should I digitise my share scheme?

Moving your share scheme onto Vestd means less admin, fewer headaches, and a single place to manage everything.

Documents are generated automatically, your cap table updates itself, and shareholders can see the value of their stake without having to ask.

It's built to scale with your business, fully connected to Companies House, and backed by a team that knows UK share schemes inside out.

Spreadsheets might work for now, but they're a risky way to manage something as important as company ownership, especially as the business scales.
What does the digitisation process involve?

If you have an existing share scheme that was set up before joining Vestd, we can digitise it and bring it onto the platform for you.

It's a one-off service, and the fee will depend on the size and complexity of your scheme.

You'll need to provide the relevant documentation, things like signed agreements, authorisations, and any valuations you have, and we'll guide you through exactly what's needed at each step.

Our team will review your existing documentation and shareholder structure, and we'll proactively surface any areas that require attention.

New document templates are configured where needed. Most migrations are completed within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of your existing scheme.

How do Agile Partnerships help?

Agile Partnerships™ are bespoke equity-based agreements that tie equity rewards to agreed performance milestones. These agreements allow you to gradually release equity to key people (founders and other key employees), based on what they actually contribute. No more worrying about co-founders leaving with a big slice of the pie without fairly contributing to the business. They are most commonly used in the early stages of a business, but can also help when changing course, bringing new people into the company, or planning to exit and handover the company to new management.
How much equity should I give to my co-founder?

Dividing equity equally between co-founders might seem like the fairest thing to do, but (ironically) it often breeds inequity, and sometimes, conflict. We’ve heard a few horror stories over the years of founders blindly agreeing to a 50/50 split only to regret it later after the other founder failed to deliver. There’s no one right answer to this. But we have put together a guide and tools to help you work out what’s right for your business. Ultimately, founding teams should base their decision on what each co-founder brings to the table.
