EMI Share Scheme
Establish Eligibility
Our dedicated consultants are committed to providing comprehensive advice tailored to your business needs, ensuring that you harness the full potential of EMI share options. From establishing your company and employee eligibility to completing the valuation and approval for HRMC to ensure your scheme qualifies for the full tax benefits, we are here to help.
Scheme Design
EMIs are extremely flexible, and can be customised to suit your needs. From how many shares to grant, numerous vesting options such as performance or time based to exit based. We’ll even cover potential issues such as good leaver/bad leaver clauses. Our experienced team of consultants will guide you painlessly the process of scheme design to deliver a scheme that aligns with your overall goals.
HMRC Approval
Before granting options your scheme needs HMRC approval of the valuation for the company. We will complete the valuation and approval for HMRC ensuring your scheme qualifies for the full tax benefits. We will also register and maintain your scheme with HMRC each year.
Grant Options
The final stage is to grant the options to your employees. Our legal partners will draw up the paperwork while we create the shares. You’ll pay one fixed price covering both our fees and those of our legal partners with the fee qualifying as a fully detectable expense against corporation tax.
