    Avoid the EMI apocalypse: get a compliance healthcheck

    Around half of all existing EMI option schemes are not compliant, for a variety of avoidable reasons. Affected shareholders will be in for a nasty surprise when the business is sold.

    Vestd helps you to ensure that your scheme remains HMRC compliant. It could save you millions.
