| Features | ||
| UK share scheme specialists We live and breathe this stuff. To quote one of our customers, "What the [Vestd] team doesn't know about share schemes, isn't worth knowing". |
||
| Ongoing support at no extra cost Different plans offer varying levels of support. But we provide email and video support as standard, even after your scheme goes live, in case you have questions or need to make changes. |
||
| Manage everything on the app Ditch the paperwork and the spreadsheets! Our sharetech reduces the risk of errors and makes equity rewards much more accessible and manageable. |
||
| Shareholder dashboards Empower your people with personalised dashboards so they can track the value of their shares in real-time, maximising engagement. |
||
