Share schemes & Enterprise Management Incentives

There are a number of ways to encourage loyalty and motivate key members of your team. Our share scheme experts can devise the right scheme for you and your business that is both tax efficient and satisfies your long term goals.

We have particular expertise in Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) schemes. These have been designed to be particularly attractive to small and medium sized companies to enable them to reward and motivate key employees in the form of share options. EMI offers flexibility to tailor awards to meet individual needs and offers very generous tax and national insurance treatment.

The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is designed to help smaller trading companies to raise finance by offering a range of tax reliefs to investors purchasing new shares in those companies.

EIS is a specialist area and advice should always be obtained before investment is sought. Hillier Hopkins LLP have extensive experience here and can assist with obtaining advanced clearance from HMRC that the company will qualify under EIS, which can be an important prerequisite in raising external investment.
