"It's handy to be able to bring everything together in one place. It's critical for us as we grow."
THE PROBLEM TODAY
Client paperwork creates work before you even start
When clients arrive with outdated, incomplete or conflicting documentation, sorting it out takes time before you can advise on what actually matters.
× Redrafting the same clauses and manually reworking terms for every scheme variation
× A client's records say one thing, their cap table and Companies House another
× No easy way to track document versions across a client's history

Frequently asked questions
Does Vestd give tax or legal advice?
No. Vestd provides software and platform support to help you and your clients stay organised and compliant; it isn't a substitute for your own professional advice, and Vestd is explicit about that boundary in its own guidance.
Is Vestd FCA-regulated?
Yes. Vestd Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under Firm Reference Number (FRN) 685992. Vestd is also certified to ISO 27001.
Can I manage multiple clients from one account?
Yes. In your Vestd dashboard, you can switch between every client company from a single login, rather than maintaining separate accounts or systems per client.
How does Vestd's Companies House integration work?
Vestd's two-way integration keeps the cap table, PSC register and shareholder resolutions in sync with Companies House, files confirmation statements with deadline reminders, and submits SH01s for share allotments.
If a client would rather manage shareholder and company secretarial matters through their own existing process, this can be switched off, though Vestd will still file an SH01 for any option exercise completed on the platform, and once switched off, it currently can't be turned back on.
Can Vestd support witness signatures for deeds?
Yes. Where an agreement legally needs to be executed as a deed, all four required signatures, company, company witness, recipient and recipient witness, are captured and stored against the document.
Can we use our existing documentation?
Yes. Upload a PDF of an externally executed deed for record-keeping, convert your own agreement into a Vestd template, or generate one of Vestd's standard agreements and tweak specific clauses.
Does Vestd partner with law firms?
Yes, through the Vestd Partner Programme!
'Refer' is a no-admin option, sending clients to Vestd and earning rewards. 'Support' suits firms already advising on schemes, valuations, filings, document drafting, without running them day-to-day.
'Implement' is for firms who want to self-manage clients' share schemes directly on Vestd, with a unified dashboard across your whole client base.
