When it comes to attracting top-tier talent, equity is the unfair advantage that startups have over other businesses. But too many startups spend too much time issuing and managing employee equity – or worse, they don’t offer it at all.
We’re here to change that.

EMI and CSOP are tax-advantaged share schemes available in the UK. For eligible businesses, they make shares an even more powerful employee incentive.
Capdesk caters to these schemes, generating EMI notification and EMI annual return filings for HMRC. It’s easy to manage CSOP and EMI vesting schedules on the platform, and we’ll ensure your business doesn’t accidentally exceed scheme limitations.

Capdesk puts the user experience first with interactive dashboards that illustrate, inform and advise. The admin dashboard allows you to see the shape of your cap table, download essential reports and invite new stakeholders all in one place.
Your employees, meanwhile, get their own dedicated dashboards that bring equity ownership to life with clear data visualisation and an enhanced user experience.
Issuing options is only the beginning. If it’s a pain to exercise them and close-to-impossible to transact them, they aren’t worth much to your employees. We’re tackling this head on. Capdesk facilitates witness signing, escrow checks, right of first refusal and board approvals, all the while ensuring activity complies with local legislation.
These are smart transactions.
Capdesk makes it simple for stakeholders to exercise their options, covering signatures, witnessing and monetary transactions.
All flow of capital is determined by local finanical regulation including KYC and AML checks by Capdesk partner Shieldpay.
We support your secondary transactions, facilitating cap table updates, board approvals and seller authentication.
We take onboarding seriously, whether your cap table is relatively straightforward or already complex.
A comprehensive onboarding programme will set you up for efficient equity management on Capdesk, with our experienced analysts taking you through the process from start to finish.
That’s not all – once you’re up and running on the platform you’ll still be able to access custom support from the team.
