Ideas, insight and tools to help you grow
Most SMEs won’t be giving out pay rises this year, following on from the Covid-19 crisis. So how can you motivate your team when cashflow is tight?
Equity is a fantastic way of incentivising key people, and in the long run it can more than compensate for any short term salary stagnation.
You can issue shares and options immediately via the Vestd platform. There’s no need for any paperwork: it is all done digitally, and is fully integrated with Companies House.

Equity aligns interests like nothing else. Research has consistently shown that sharing ownership increases productivity, loyalty and overall business value.
Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) schemes are the most popular way to distribute equity among UK SMEs. The tax benefits on offer are as good as it gets.
Giving your team a slice of the action makes them feel differently about your business. This is a particularly good idea for fully or partially remote teams.
