Sharing equity is one of the most effective ways to align your team with the business, but getting the structure and HMRC process right matters just as much as the decision to do it. At Folio Partners, we guide you through scheme design, valuations, and compliance, explaining each step clearly so you and your team know exactly where things stand.
In our experience, to successfully implement an employee share scheme, there are a few golden rules.
If you’d like to explore the different options for sharing equity with your employees, get in touch with a member of the Folio Partners team.
There is no reason why all businesses should not offer equity to their employees. There are lots of different types of schemes, but the motive for issuing equity is always the same – it aligns your team’s interests with your own interests as a business owner. Yes, you have to give away part of your business, but with a properly incentivised team, your business will be more profitable, more successful, and ultimately more valuable. We’ve spoken to numerous business owners who like the idea of sharing equity with their employees, but don’t know where to start.
At Folio Partners, we can handhold you and your team through the whole process, from dealing with HMRC, to preparing the necessary agreements and guiding your employees through the whole process in a jargon-free environment. Sharing equity in your business should be a really positive experience for everyone, and the key to this is making sure that everyone understands the process properly.
