EMI Share Options
EMI share options are becoming increasingly popular because of the significant tax incentive it gives employers and employees. It’s a great way to attract, retain and incentivise great talent.
​
​However, communicating the value of this scheme can sometimes be technical, leaving employees unaware of the company's real offering. When the team doesn’t understand the significant tax benefits (for example, staying two years vs one year will significantly decrease their tax liability when they sell their shares), it defeats the scheme's purpose.
How do we help?
✔ We manage the whole process for you. We use app partners such as Vestd/Seedlegals to set up your share option scheme.
​
✔ We ensure our reports give your startup and the employees the most beneficial valuation, and our most importantly, less likely to be challenged by HMRC.
​
✔ We conduct sessions with your team to explain how share options work and why it’s such a great benefit.
​
✔ We create a share options calculator, which grows as your company grows. We help you offer share options to staff with varied experience, roles and salaries. As the company grows and is valued higher, the number of share options offered for each new hire decreases, reflecting the increased value of each share.
​
✔ We also meet with management to discuss hiring plans to help create an option pool that reflects both estimated headcount and estimated company valuation growth.
​
✔ We deal with all EMI returns and annual ERS returns
