The only full service digital platform
There are other digital platforms but none of them have the expert support, the full Companies House integration, nor the FCA regulation.

Expert guidance, on tap, from startup to sale
Vestd is more than a platform: our team of share scheme experts makes us unique.
Don’t lose sleep over forms and deadlines
We won’t miss a beat with those important notifications and submissions.
Access for your accountants and lawyers
Invite your professional services advisors to Vestd. Store key docs in your secure vault.
Use your own docs (or ours, if you prefer)
We have standard templates but use your own if they’ve already been prepared.
Ongoing, defensible valuations
Valuations are included and conducted by our in-house team (on Standard and Guided plans).
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 company scheme remains HMRC compliant. It could save you millions.

Our customers say good things...
Vestd has the most user-friendly platform and was built for UK businesses, by a team of genuine experts that helped us to get everything set up. What they don’t know about share schemes isn’t worth knowing.
David Biggs, CFO, Pusher

Our customers say good things...
Using our equity to boost business has been a revelation. We needed more customers but wanted to ensure they were right for us and that we could offer them loads of value. By inviting them to be shareholders we’ve created a real community of advocates.
Chris Drummond, Crafted Crate

Our customers say good things...
Vestd was great. Loads easier and simpler than doing this the traditional way. Though almost all of the process could be completed online without any direct communication, the Vestd team were always available to answer specific questions at various stages.
David Harvey, Seccl

This is the go-to online platform for Founders & CEOs who have zero time to learn and execute the intricacies of tax and equity distribution law.
Gail Spooner, My Makeup Concierge

Our customers say good things...
Vestd has been a brilliant tool for us. We recently closed a $1.1m seed round, and knowing that all the information is stored and processed in one place has been a massive time-saver. The calculators are handy and the dashboard is well-designed. We will definitely be using Vestd to manage our EMI option scheme going forward too. Overall, I would 100% recommend it to other founders.

As a Founder, I wanted to reward my early stage team with shares, but with conditions attached. It’s been incredibly simple to use Vestd to build my team, and now that we have successfully completed our first major round of funding, we are looking for everyone to share in our success.
Leon Ifayemi, SPCE
