The days of painstakingly tracking equity allocation on a series of spreadsheets are over. In this post, we explore two...
Giving equity to your team is fantastic for motivating and establishing a great company culture.
After a company has value (for example it’s first funding round), you can’t just give away shares – you’ll normally have to set up a share option scheme.
It can be pretty complicated though. Should you give equity to all of your team, or only some? When’s the right time? And what’s the right scheme for your business?
In addition, if it’s not done correctly – there can be some pretty nasty tax consequences.
In this webinar, we help you decide which route is best for your business and how you can set one up.
In 45 minutes we cover:
- When should I give shares vs options?
- What is a share scheme, and which one should I use?
