You can now grant options to one person or multiple people in a single, clean flow. Set shared terms once, tailor where needed and send agreements without repeating work. It means less admin today – and a structure that scales as your team grows. ## One simple flow for single or multiple grants Option grants now run through the same group-based flow, whether you’re granting options to a single hire or rolling them out to several people at once. Start by clicking **Grant options** and **Create new group**. - Granting to one person? Enter their details and set up the grant as usual. - Granting to multiple people? Select everyone you want to include and move them through the flow together. Single grants use the same structure as larger grant rounds, keeping everything consistent from day one. ## Set shared terms once, manage everything in one place After selecting who you’re granting options to, you’ll land on the group’s default terms. This is where you set the shared details for the grant, including: - the option scheme (EMI or Unapproved) - vesting schedule - exercise price - grant date Any terms you set here apply across the whole group by default, making it much quicker to create multiple grants with the same core details. You can also rename the group (for example, EMI Scheme – Jan 2026), review the shared terms, or update them later if needed. Clear group names make it far easier to understand your option history as you grow and run multiple grant rounds. Instead of scrolling through individual grants, you can quickly see which grants relate to a specific hiring phase, funding milestone, or annual cycle – making reviews, due diligence and adviser conversations much simpler. ## Tailor individual grants without creating new groups Shared terms don’t mean every grant has to be identical. You can still make changes at an individual level – for example, adjusting the number of options for a particular person – without affecting the rest of the group. There’s no need to create separate groups just to handle small differences, so things keep moving quickly. ## Send and track agreements in bulk From the group overview, you can also take bulk actions – like sharing or signing all agreements at once. SeedLegals generates the option agreements and tracks progress for you, so you can see who’s signed and what’s still outstanding without managing everything manually. This helps speed up the process when you’re granting options to multiple people at the same time. ## Designed to grow with your company This group-based approach works just as well for your first option grant as it does for repeated grant cycles in a larger company. Early on, it keeps things simple and easy to manage. As your team grows, the same structure makes it far easier to run regular grant rounds without option admin spiralling out of control. Single grants, batch grants, annual cycles – everything runs through one clear, consistent setup. **More great news: EMI just became available to many more companies** The Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme is one of the most tax-efficient ways for UK companies to offer share options to their teams – and it’s just been expanded. [Recent changes](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/employment-related-securities-bulletin-62-november-2025) (announced in the 2025 Autumn Budget) mean: - **The employee limit has doubled** Companies can now have up to 500 full-time employees when EMI options are granted (up from 250). - **The gross assets limit has increased significantly** Eligible companies can now have up to £120M in gross assets, compared to the previous £30M limit. - **More growing companies qualify** That means many companies that would previously have aged out of EMI can now continue using it as they scale. With EMI now relevant to more companies – and for longer – there’s never been more reason to have a scalable, well-structured way to manage option grants across your team. ## See group grants in action ### Already managing your options on SeedLegals?
