• When can my team access their shares?

  Real shares are granted immediately, but options are subject to vesting, and that comes in two distinct forms: exit-only or exercisable. We are huge fans of the latter for all sorts of reasons, but most companies choose the former.

  • What are exit-based options?

  • What are exercisable options?

  • What are the key differences between exercisable vs exit-only options?

  • Which type is right for me?

• Can we manage multiple share schemes and share classes?

  Yes. You can manage EMI, CSOP, growth shares, and unapproved options in one place, alongside multiple share classes with different rights.
  
  This makes it easier to run parallel schemes and maintain consistency across your equity structure.

• How does Vestd support governance and audit readiness?

  Vestd maintains a complete, up-to-date record of all equity activity, transactions, documents, and ownership changes, creating a clear audit trail.

  This helps you stay organised, reduce risk, and respond quickly to due diligence or internal reviews.

• Can Vestd help with Companies House filings and reporting?

  Vestd connects directly with Companies House, allowing you to submit filings electronically and keep your records aligned automatically.
  
  This reduces the risk of missed or incorrect filings and removes the need for manual submissions.
