THE SITUATION
Equity is the part of an offer people accept on trust, and the part that is hardest to produce once they have signed.
01
You put equity in an offer letter and your new hire starts in three weeks, before any plan exists.02
The tax treatment changes with the country and the instrument, and the person who pays for getting it wrong is your employee.03
Every grant means another round of board and shareholder formalities, and nobody on your team knows which ones are actually required.04
You cannot find out what setting up a plan costs without booking a call with a firm that bills by the hour.
HOW WE HANDLE IT
The same offer, with the plan behind it.
- 01One plan, built for the countries where you hire.Each country's treatment is handled together, so a team split across borders does not need separate workstreams.
- 02The first issuance is part of the job.The plan documents, grant paperwork and corporate formalities for the first issuance are delivered as one set.
- 03Written so your team can run it next time.You receive the plan and the sequence of decisions and documents that each future grant needs, in language a non-lawyer can follow.
- 04A fixed price before you commit.You know the cost of the plan before you decide to put it in place.
