Vestd

FCA-regulated UK platform for share schemes and cap tables

Overview

Vestd is a UK equity management platform founded in 2014 by Ifty Nasir and Naveed Akram. It began with a broader start-up investment remit and moved to equity management in 2017, went fully remote in 2019 and became a B Corp in February 2025[22]. Vestd Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 685992) and is ISO 27001 certified[21].

The product is organised around UK share schemes rather than US instruments. The Essentials plan covers the cap table, share movements, share classes and Companies House filings. Starter adds unapproved options and growth shares for up to five recipients with no valuation needed. Guided Service adds EMI, CSOP and phantom share schemes with scheme set-up help, HMRC submission support and unlimited HMRC valuations, and Enterprise provides managed administration with IFRS 2 and HMRC reporting support. An InVestd Raise add-on covers S/EIS advance assurance, founder agreements and share issuance[21].

All plans carry a 12-month minimum term that renews automatically, and there is no free tier. Vestd won Share Scheme Provider of the Year at the WSB Awards 2024[22].
