Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) More than 14,000 UK companies have an EMI scheme in place to reward key people with incredibly tax-efficient shares. Vestd is the most advanced digital platform for creating, setting up and managing EMI schemes. |
||||
Growth shares Growth shares are incredibly flexible. There are no statutory requirements or limits to abide by. These shares are issued at a ‘hurdle rate’ and provide recipients with a share in the future capital growth of the business. This minimises dilution for existing shareholders. Recipients don’t need to pay any Income Tax when they receive the shares, only CGT on any gains when they are sold. |
||||
Unapproved options Unapproved share options are extremely flexible and can be issued directly via our platform to employees, contractors, advisors or consultants. There are more tax efficient ways to give people skin in the game but unapproved options are about as flexible as it gets. |
||||
Agile Partnerships Founders tend to incentivise co-founders and key hires with equity, but sometimes people walk away with a slice of the business before contributing what they promised. Agile Partnerships™ prevent this from happening, so nobody gets hurt. Setting one up costs a fraction of what lawyers typically charge. |
||||
Ordinary shares You can issue ordinary shares directly via the Vestd platform, and update Companies House at the touch of a button. No other platform makes it this simple. Word to the wise: there are more tax-efficient ways of giving people skin in the game (such as EMI options or growth shares). |
