Case Study: ThanksBox achieves rapid, compliant employee share ownership with Vestd

ThanksBox - Customer Case Study

ThanksBox, a London-based software business of 16 employees, needed to formalise share ownership for its team but faced high legal costs, cross-border employees, and a complex investor and tax position. The founders wanted both EMI Options and Growth Shares to cover UK-qualified directors and overseas developers, and they had only 10 days to complete documentation, update articles and pass resolutions with 20 investors ahead of an EMI valuation and fundraising round.

Vestd provided a cost-effective share scheme platform and hands-on support, implementing both Growth Shares and EMI Options, guiding ThanksBox through articles updates and two sets of investor resolutions, and delivering everything within the 10-day deadline. The result: a compliant scheme completed correctly that made all employees shareholders (16 staff), enabled the fundraising/valuation timetable to proceed, and left the team "over the moon" while giving ThanksBox a digital, affordable way to deepen shareholder relationships — all credited to Vestd’s platform and support.
