In a competitive market, retaining your core talent requires more than just a salary. We help you transform your employees into partners by designing and implementing ESOP frameworks that align their interests with your company’s growth.
Our advisory ensures that your equity incentive schemes are tax-efficient for the employee, compliant with corporate law, and strategically structured to minimize founder dilution while maximizing motivation.
ESOPs are one of the most powerful tools for talent retention and alignment. By giving employees a stake in the company’s future, you foster a “founder’s mindset.” For private companies, it also serves as a way to provide competitive compensation packages without immediate cash outflows.
We structure the scheme to be as tax-efficient as possible. We advise on the timing of grants and exercises to manage the “perquisite tax” and “capital gains tax” implications for your team, ensuring that the benefit is tangible and not a financial burden for them.
We draft the scheme with “Exit Events” in mind. Whether it’s an IPO, a buyback, or an acquisition, the plan will clearly outline how options are accelerated or cashed out. Our goal is to ensure a seamless liquidity event for your employees while protecting the company’s interests.
