Incentive programs based on shares, options, or profit-sharing are now one of the key elements of an organization’s growth strategy. A well-designed ESOP or incentive plan not only impacts the retention of key individuals but also shapes the team’s perception of the company, responsibility for results, and the stability of the ownership structure in the long term.
When designing incentive programs, it’s crucial to align business goals with real engagement from participants. We help organizations build solutions that are clear to the team, practically implementable, and consistent with the ownership model—ensuring that the incentive program organizes relationships, strengthens long-term perspectives, and supports the company’s development.
What we help with in incentive programs and ESOP?
Designing incentive programs and ESOP
We advise on selecting the program model—ranging from stock options, phantom shares, to performance-based and long-term value solutions.
Program structure and participation terms
We clarify conditions for program participation, vesting mechanisms, entitlement acquisition rules, and the consequences of terminating cooperation.
Incentive programs for management and key individuals
We support the creation of programs targeted at the board, managers, and key employees, considering their role within the organization.
Tax and social security aspects of incentive programs
We analyze the tax and social insurance implications for both the company and participants, helping choose solutions appropriate to the business model.
Ownership and corporate regulations
We advise on equity rights, share trading, voting rights, dividends, and the disclosure obligations associated with the program’s functioning.
