Traditionally, setting up an EMI option scheme was expensive: it could cost up to £5,000 to £10,000. You’d need to hire a law firm to draft the scheme rules and bring an accountant in to draft a valuation for submission to HMRC. This could take months and you’d be on your own when managing the scheme with HMRC.
SeedLegals has changed all this. Using our platform, you can create your EMI scheme, set vesting conditions, have law-firm-quality legal drafts, a market-leading valuation, and get help with all the ongoing management of the scheme. This comes at a fraction of the cost of lawyers or accountants: with SeedLegals it’s £2,490 per year to set up, grant and manage your options. . To run your scheme, you’ll need a SeedLegals Options Subscription, which includes a range of services and discounts.
