This has been the real positive, the software just does what it needs to and maintains a clean record of our affairs. What has made Vestd such a good choice for us is the very detailed and thoughtful guidance before, during and long after signing up. They have made time and brain available to understand our business, its needs and objectives and given advice on that basis. Never with any pressure or spin. About a year ago I was interviewing someone for a job. She had previously worked in a small company which she'd been in from the get-go. It had sold. I mentioned something about how presumably she'd walked away with some reward from it all. Raw nerve touched. Long story short, the owner had set up EMI shares themselves but hadn't done it correctly. The buyer came in, saw that the shares were incorrectly administered and gave her nothing at all. Moral of the story: if you are going to do this stuff, do it right.

Like me, it's simple. It takes what is a potentially horrendously complex process and makes it simple and clear. The interface is very clear - that's both for me on the dashboard and for users who log in.

Not a lot to say on this front, nothing springs to mind. Of course, I'm not someone with deep knowledge of share issues so there are better people to ask out there, somewhere...

Couldn’t recommend the company enough.

Vestd is honestly one of the most useful products out there when starting a business. Not only do [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team guide you through everything and are on hand to answer questions constantly, but the software itself is very easy to use and implements any changes automatically.

The only minor minor thing is that occasionally it wouldn’t tell you the reason for an error when setting up an EMI scheme template, and you’d have to work out what was wrong by trial and error. But I think that was more user error that be honest!

This is my first time using an EMI software service and thee customer service from the Vestd team is fantastic. They have taken the time to talk me through the platform, how everything works and even how EMI schemes work.

I like that it's user friendly and easy to navigate.

I'm still learning the platform, so nothing I can think of at this stage.

Great system and great support / customer service

The UI is intuitive and enables our employees to see their shares and the share schemes - this increases the value of them and brings them to life. Setting up the emi schemes is much easier and I have confidence they are done correctly and follow all the rules.

Reporting to HMRC and the steps required are not intuitive and because they aren't done frequently are hard to remember. Vestd helps navigate this, but it still sometimes takes some time to remember where to go and what to do. I don't think another system could do it any better though.

Vestd provides a comprehensive platform for equity management and their customer support is excellent - they're always on hand with prompt responses and solutions should any issue arise.

The UX could be designed to be a little clearer and more user friendly.
