Incentive Plan (ESOP, PSOP)
Startups need to attract the best talent and keep them loyal to the company even if the startup goes through difficult times. Faced with having very limited financial resources at the beginning, sharing the startup’s future success with key employees is a great incentive to keep them motivated throughout the journey. Implementing an incentive plan allows the employees to participate in the financial upside as the company’s shares gain value over time. An incentive plan may take the form of an “employee stock option plan” (ESOP) or phantom stock option plan (PSOP). The former is about real shares or options on real shares, while the latter is about sharing the financial upside of the startup’s share value appreciation by agreeing on a future bonus payout in the case of an exit. It is also possible to directly grant shares to an employee as a form of motivation.
Our team would be very happy to discuss about the different incentive plans which exist and expose both their advantages and disadvantage to make the right choice. Feel free to reach out should you have any question.

Staff policies may cover a wide range of topics, such as attendance and punctuality, confidentiality, use of company property, and use of social media, among others.
Our team would be very happy to discuss about staff policies with you. Feel free to reach out should you have any question.
