Growth hub

Vestd tracks ownership, lets you update shareholder records, and automatically feeds the changes through to Companies House with our unique two-way integration. No messy paperwork - stay compliant in just a few clicks.

No - we don’t offer investor matching. Instead, our focus is on helping you become investor-ready, providing tools, resources, and support to manage your fundraise efficiently. That way, when you connect with investors, you’ll be fully prepared and confident.

You can also manage ownership and easily issue investor shares at the click of a button with Vestd - what’s not to love?

Our tool calculates ownership splits, potential dilution, and provides full transparency so you know how your rounds will impact your shareholdings.

After your first fundraise, setting up share schemes is a key way to attract and retain top talent while motivating your team to grow the business.

With Vestd, you can issue shares at the click of a button, customise schemes to fit your business, and set vesting schedules effortlessly. This keeps your team incentivised and ensures your company structure stays clear, compliant, and ready for growth.

Vestd has two-way integration with Companies House. In simple terms: they sync up.

The result is a cap table that auto-updates in real-time, accurate records, timely submissions (i.e. confirmation statements, SH01s) and easy updates (i.e. PSCs details) in one place, not two.

As for HMRC, you can submit annual notifications via the platform. And request a new or refreshed EMI/CSOP valuation directly. Our team will then prepare and send it to HMRC to get their approval.

Setting and customising vesting schedules is a key feature of our scheme designer. There, you can select a duration, any cliff period, as well as time and performance-based criteria. You can duplicate your scheme design for future hires, keeping the same conditions.

It depends (again).

EMI options give employees favourable tax treatment on gains (BADR), no National Insurance on exercise, and employers get a corporation tax deduction.

CSOPs allow employees to exercise options up to £60,000 without paying Income Tax or NI, while employers can claim a CT deduction.

With both of these schemes, the tax benefits apply only if specific qualifying criteria are met.

With growth shares, typically, Capital Gains Tax applies on any increase in value rather than Income Tax, and there’s usually no NI due.

The taxation of unapproved options is more nuanced. Learn more.
