Although quoted companies have used share plans more readily in the past because of the existing market in the shares and the published share values, share plans can be used effectively in unquoted companies. Equity Incentives has many years of experience in designing and implementing share plans to deal with the particular issues that private companies face.

With only a small amount of planning, the following issues can be dealt with effectively:

• Valuation of private company shares: Click here for a PDF containing further information.
• Lack of a market in private company shares: See our ESOPs as an Internal Market page in the ESOPs section.

See our Case Studies for examples of other companies who have offered shares to employees or if would like to discuss your requirements confidentially and with no cost or commitment, please contact Graeme Nuttall on 020 7861 4717 or at graeme.nuttall@equityincentives.co.uk.
