What is included?
We take care of the lifetime management of your employee share scheme, from start to finish.
That means ongoing valuations, vesting schedules, digital exercising, and all of those important HMRC notifications and submissions.
Vestd does everything you need, in one place.
How much does it cost?
Accountants and lawyers usually charge between £5k and £10k to set up a scheme, and much more to manage it.
Our model is different: we don’t charge fees for new schemes. No hidden costs, and unlimited support. Fully transparent pricing, from £100 a month.
Experts in EMI schemes
Vestd sets up more EMI option schemes than anyone else. They are ideal for SMEs, and have huge tax benefits (if done correctly – many schemes are not compliant).
Our experts can quickly determine if your company is eligible. We can digitise existing schemes too.
Beware, the EMI compliance apocalypse is nigh
Do you have an existing EMI scheme? Is it compliant?
- ~50% of EMI schemes are not compliant
- Non-compliance = large tax bill for everybody
- Humans are error-prone – stop using spreadsheets!
- Vestd makes it easy to digitise your existing share scheme, and we will undertake a HMRC compliance healthcheck as part of the process.
