"Share schemes allow you to reward long‑term impact, not just short‑term wins, and they cost the business nothing upfront."

 

What we covered:

Pick the right scheme by audience

EMI for UK employees, unapproved options or growth shares for others.

Size a realistic option pool

Start with 10 to 20 percent and flex to your hiring and retention plan.

Adopt a simple vesting schedule

Traditional four‑year vesting or back-weighted vesting to reward loyalty.

Lock in leaver rules

Clear good and bad leaver clauses to set expectations.

Protect the business

Use a non‑voting class and align option exercises to an exit.

Over communicate

Educate your people on the potential future value of their stake.
