ESOPs

We make Employees Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) easy-on-the-pocket, fast and convenient

Shruti is a driven and ambitious startup founder who is looking to create an employee stock option plan for her company.

She understands the importance of offering equity to employees but wants to ensure that the plan is well-structured and aligns with her company's goals.

Shruti wants to create a well-designed and competitive employee stock option plan that motivates her employees, aligns with her company's vision and helps her attract and retain top talent.

Can she google it and figure it out on her own?
The how-to guides she came across had words like valuation, tax implication analysis, grant letters, ESOP Agreement, escrow, trusts and other stuff that would be outside her circle of competence.
She understood that there are clear legal and regulatory requirements.
She needed guidance on best practices & industry benchmarks.
She would also need help with compliances and equity dilution process.
Her brother suggested her to hire a law firm or consulting firm to do this - but that would burn a hole in her pocket, the size of a small car.
She cannot afford mistakes that could negatively impact her company's future.
She worries that her plan won't be competitive or attractive enough to land and retain top talent.

Creation of ESOP Pool and ESOPs

Our service involves setting up Employees Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), which provide a means for startup founders to share ownership of the company with their employees.

We will work closely with you to structure these plans in a way that aligns with your business goals. This includes determining the size of the ESOP pool and customising the ESOP framework to meet the specific needs of your startup.

We also ensure that your ESOPs are in compliance with all necessary legal and regulatory requirements, providing a solid foundation for the equitable distribution of company ownership.

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the tax implications related to ESOPs for your startup and your employees. This analysis promotes complete transparency and clarity, helping you anticipate and plan for the tax matters that may arise as a result of ESOP participation and allows startup founders and employees to make informed decisions, facilitating a fair and open ESOP process.

Grant Notice, Stock Option Agreement and Exercise Agreements

We carefully draft and review these crucial documents to protect the interests of both your company and your employees. Our "Grant Notice" communicates stock option awards, specifying details such as the number of options, exercise prices and vesting conditiond. The "Stock Option Agreement" outlines terms and conditions, ensuring clarity on exercise prices, vesting schedules and restrictions. Our "Exercise Agreement" covers the process of converting options into shares and may include important information on payment, tax considerations and compliance with your company's policies.
