02 What happened with Carta acquiring Capdesk?
Carta acquired Capdesk in 2024 to expand its UK and European capabilities. Capdesk continues to operate with its UK-focused features while benefiting from Carta's infrastructure. Existing Capdesk customers maintain their plans and pricing, with access to enhanced features from Carta's platform over time.
03 Does Capdesk support EMI and CSOP schemes?
Yes, Capdesk specializes in UK share schemes including EMI (Enterprise Management Incentive) and CSOP (Company Share Option Plan). The platform digitizes the entire process from issuing grants to offboarding employees, and provides tailored EMI and CSOP valuations at cost-effective rates.
04 Does Capdesk automate HMRC filings?
Yes, Capdesk automatically populates and supports filings for HMRC and Companies House, including the ERS annual return, SH01/02/06 forms, and CS01 filings. This automation significantly reduces administrative burden for UK companies managing employee share schemes.
05 Is Capdesk suitable for non-UK companies?
While Capdesk is optimized for UK and European companies, the Carta acquisition has expanded its international capabilities. However, companies primarily focused on US operations may find pure Carta or AngelList Stack more suitable, while European companies will benefit from Capdesk's regional compliance expertise.
06 Which Capdesk plan should I choose?
Choose Raise (£119/month) if you're just starting with up to 5 stakeholders. Build (£245/month) suits companies with straightforward equity needs and simple employee share plans. Grow (£370/month) is ideal for comprehensive ESOP management with EMI/CSOP valuations. Scale (custom) is for international businesses with complex accounting needs requiring 409A valuations and IFRS/UK GAAP reporting.
