Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
-
What is equity management software?
Equity management software helps companies manage cap tables, shareholders, employee share schemes, ownership records, and equity-related compliance from a single platform. It replaces manual spreadsheets with a centralised system that provides greater accuracy, visibility, and control over company ownership as the business grows.
-
Why do finance teams need cap table management software?
As ownership structures become more complex, maintaining accurate records through spreadsheets can become time-consuming and error-prone. Cap table management software helps finance teams track shareholders, funding rounds, share classes, employee equity plans, and dilution while maintaining a reliable source of ownership data for reporting and decision-making.
-
How can companies track dilution more effectively?
Dilution occurs whenever new shares or options are issued, reducing the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. To track dilution effectively, finance teams need visibility into future fundraising, employee share schemes, option pools, and ownership changes. Equity management software provides a structured way to monitor and model these impacts before decisions are made.
-
What challenges do Finance heads face when managing employee equity?
Common challenges include tracking option grants, managing vesting schedules, forecasting dilution, maintaining shareholder records, preparing reports, and ensuring compliance. As companies scale, these processes become increasingly difficult to manage manually, making ownership visibility and accurate record-keeping essential.
-
What should companies look for in equity management software?
Companies should look for software that combines cap table management, employee share scheme administration, shareholder management, governance support, reporting capabilities, and audit trails. The most effective platforms create a single source of truth for ownership data while supporting growth and compliance requirements.
-
How does Vestd help finance teams manage ownership?
Vestd helps finance teams manage cap tables, employee share schemes, shareholder records, governance workflows, and ownership reporting through one connected platform. By centralising ownership information, Vestd reduces administrative burden and gives teams a clearer view of ownership across the business.
-
What makes Vestd different from traditional cap table software?
While many platforms focus solely on cap table management, Vestd combines ownership management, employee equity administration, governance workflows, reporting, and shareholder engagement in one platform. This allows finance teams to manage ownership operations more efficiently without relying on multiple systems or disconnected processes.
-
Why do finance teams choose Vestd over spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets may work in the early stages of a business, but they often become difficult to maintain as ownership structures evolve. Finance teams choose Vestd because it helps centralise ownership data, reduce manual reconciliation, improve reporting accuracy, and maintain organised records that support audits, fundraising, and long-term growth.
