The complete equity toolkit
Built for each stage of a company's lifecycle.
Real flows, in a few guided steps
Three of the jobs you'll do most, start to finish.
01Grant an option
Pick the recipient and terms, set a vesting schedule, send the agreement for e-signature, and file the HMRC notification, all in one guided flow.
02Run a funding round
Model the funding round, apply for SEIS/EIS, generate investment documents, collect signatures online, and watch your cap table update.
03Handle a leaver
Mark the leaver or sync from HR, apply your good and bad leaver rules, then vested shares stay while unvested lapse and records update.

Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers and finance teams ask before moving to Vestd, from migration and records to Companies House, HMRC and support.
Vestd is purpose-built for share schemes and equity management for UK companies, a complete, end-to-end solution with specialist guidance at every step. We're FCA-regulated, ISO 27001-certified and a registered B Corp, and our two-way Companies House integration keeps your records defensible and accurate.
We do the heavy lifting. A dedicated migration specialist transfers all your relevant data, share classes, option grants, vesting schedules, exercises, leavers and documentation, flags anything unusual early, and reconciles it against Companies House. For a non-complex structure with 25 scheme members, the average is one to two weeks.
That's more common than you might think. Our specialists review your data as part of the process and help resolve inconsistencies, missing information or historic errors, so you end up with a clean, reconciled record.
Our two-way Companies House integration automates admin and filings and reduces the risk of mistakes, customers can file 18+ forms electronically. For HMRC, you can submit annual notifications via the platform and request a new or refreshed EMI/CSOP valuation directly.
You'll have a dedicated migration specialist who knows equity inside out and has helped countless customers set up and manage their share schemes. They'll be your main point of contact throughout.
Once you're live, our support team helps you get comfortable with the platform and answers any scheme or admin questions. The level of support thereafter depends on your chosen subscription.
