INCREASE LOYALTY
When the team is personally invested, everyone is empowered to work towards the same goal.
TALENT ACQUISITION
Hiring can be tough. Employee equity helps to level the playing field and motivates people to do their best work.
SAVE TIME & ELIMINATE MISTAKES
Vestd is the first and most advanced equity platform in the UK, with about twice as many features as the next best provider in the market.
✓ Full, two-way Companies House integration
✓ A real-time, 100% accurate digital cap table
✓ Guided setup and ongoing support
FAIR & PROPORTIONATE EQUITY REWARDS
Motivate key people (or your whole team) with 'conditional equity', where recipients are rewarded in line with their actual contribution. Customisable agreements and shareholder docs are included, plus regular company valuations from our in-house team. You won’t need to pay an accountant or lawyer to help. Everything is provided as part of the service.
MULTIPLE EQUITY DISTRIBUTION METHODS
Enterprise Management Incentives are the most tax-efficient option scheme for employees. Growth Shares are perfect for when you’ve built up some value in your business. Unapproved Options are super flexible and can be used for non-employees. Agile Partnerships were designed for co-founder agreements / prenups. You can issue Ordinary Shares to investors directly via the platform too.
Recipients can track the value of their equity and model future scenarios, to figure out what their pot could be worth.
Other providers don't seem to think this matters, but we do. Your equity is your most valuable asset, after all.
You’ll pay a fraction of what accountants and lawyers typically charge to set up share schemes and manage your equity.
The platform itself allows you to manage all aspects of share and option management concisely in one place. The automations and integrations save you time. But while the platform is great, it is the team that makes Vestd stand out. From pre-sales to onboarding and the ever-helpful support team - not only do they support on the platform but provide excellent knowledge in this area.
Great platform. The team always provide brilliant support. I would definitely recommend using Vestd to anyone who needs to set up and administer an EMI scheme.
Straight forward and structured approach - so good for founders and also FD/CFO/advisor who is looking to get share capital and share option schemes in place.
A fantastic platform. The price is fixed. The customer support is fantastic and readily available. They have held our hand right through the whole process.
I love Vestd and I wish I had found it sooner. It makes the whole process of issuing shares whether they're growth shares or ordinary shares incredibly simple.
Amazing shift from Excel to Vestd. The support team were amazing and did a great job of completing our setup and we have been very pleased at being able to better manage our governance over time.
To fast-track your scheme simply book a discovery call. We will help you explore tax-efficiency, how to protect existing shareholders, what happens if people leave, and costs. We'll show you the Vestd platform if you're interested, but this is a free equity consultation for you, not a sales pitch.

No, but companies with advance assurance stand a better chance of getting the investment they need.
Advance assurance is HMRC’s way of checking whether your company meets the conditions of SEIS and EIS and whether the investment itself will qualify for tax reliefs.
As such, many investors will only invest in companies that have received advance assurance. Learn more.
SEIS/EIS advance assurance applications can take up to 8 weeks for HMRC to approve. However, most simple applications can be turned around in as little as 3-4 weeks.
The key difference is that SEIS is designed to help very-early stage businesses, whereas EIS is for businesses that have been trading for a little longer. Learn more.
Vestd customers can check whether their company is eligible for EIS and SEIS on the app before applying for advance assurance. Otherwise, click here to view the eligibility criteria for EIS or here for SEIS.
Yes, but only if you raise funds with the SEIS first. Your company can't issue shares under EIS, and then go back and issue shares under SEIS.
If you’re already a Vestd customer, log in to your account and go to 'SEIS/EIS' to start your advance assurance application. If you'd like to join Vestd, book a free consultation with our team today.
