Introducing Remote Equity Essentials: Manage global equity incentives with ease

Offering equity incentives to your global team is a win-win. It fosters engagement, retention, and a sense of ownership among your people, and enables you to attract top talent across different markets.

However, granting and managing equity across the world is risky — especially when you don’t fully understand the legal risks that you or your team members might be facing from country to country.

That’s why we’ve introduced Remote Equity Essentials, which provides education and tax consultation for your equity incentives program — no matter what you grant or where.

What is Remote Equity Essentials?

Remote Equity Essentials is a dedicated equity management platform for any global company that issues equity to its team members. It simplifies and centralizes your equity management and tax knowledge information, regardless of the type of equity you are offering.

Specifically, Equity Essentials:

• Provides tailored knowledge about equity practices

• Provides alerts about upcoming taxable events

• Supports with employer-related tax implications during a taxable event

• Supports any type of equity (such as RSUs, NSOs, and tokens)

• Is available to any company’s EoR employees globally

How does Remote Equity Essentials help?

Unlike the non-specific knowledge base or tax-advice-only nature of other solutions, Equity Essentials reduces administrative burdens. Crucially, it also actually improves compliance, increases transparency, and better educates employees;  empowering your business to grow faster and incentivize your people with confidence.

It provides your business with:

• Full equity incentive compliance. We work with lawyers across the globe to ensure the equity that you grant your employers is compliant with local laws. There’s no more hoping that you’re staying in the lines; with Equity Essentials, you’ll know for certain.

• Deeper knowledge. We provide easy-to-digest knowledge on employee equity that anyone can understand, on a per-country basis. This is crucial, as most solutions are restricted to knowledge of one or two countries at most. 

• Better employee education. Equity isn’t an effective incentive unless your people understand what they’re getting and how it works. With Equity Essentials, every grantee gets their own portal, where they can see how much equity they have, what’s vested, and how far they have to go. They also receive key insights and information around tax and compliance, ensuring they understand what their equity means for them. 

• A dedicated equity compensation platform. No other solution has a platform dedicated to providing equity information to employers and EoR employees alike. Only Equity Essentials provides this on a global scale.

Go deeper with Remote Equity Advanced

Remote Equity Essentials is a strong solution that gives any employer around the world the ability to track equity compensation data, gain country-specific knowledge quickly, and receive equity tax consultations.

But for teams that need more comprehensive support, Remote Equity Advanced could be an even better fit. Because, in addition to everything Essentials offers, Remote Equity Advanced provides a broad service that makes it possible to seamlessly sync with your cap table, and grant, manage, and board-approve equity in a matter of minutes (For US headquartered companies only).
