Forget about countless consultancy that ends up in confusing paperwork and spreadsheets. Start today with a modern, proven and quick approach.
Step one
Step one
Create the pool
First, we will need some basic company info that will allow us to create the first pool of virtual shares. A virtual share is a copy of an existing share (registered at the notary) that follows its value and/or entitlement for a dividend. That's why people sometimes also call it a phantom share.
You can attach two types of rights to a virtual share: Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), Dividend Rights, or both. Companies aiming for growth often start with SARs, whereas more stable and profitable businesses apply the dividend incentive instead.

Step two
Define the rules
Virtual shares are meant to serve as an incentive. Employees and other stakeholders can get rewarded virtual shares for reaching certain goals and milestones. After creating the pool of virtual shares, it is time to think about the basic rules.
You can choose from a variety of business rules, such as vesting periods, payment triggers, leaver consequences and much more. The platform provides an extensive legal framework with plug-and-play clauses that cover situations that we have seen in practice.

Step three
Invite participants
Now that you have created the pool of virtual shares and have decided on the basic rules that apply, it’s time to start using them. Via our platform, you can create allocations and invite participants to join the program.
The persons will get personal dashboards on which they can review their offer and accept it. The purpose is to keep them engaged, so we advise to work with multiple allocations over time and to actively update the share value in the tool so it shows financial progress.

Choose the right incentive
Shareholders naturally have two goals: to make the company more valuable and more profitable. Virtual shares mimic this as much as possible - yet with more flexibility.
Virtual share value
When a virtual share has “Share Appreciation Rights” activated, it means that the person holding the virtual share directly benefits from the value increase of the company.
The company can decide upfront at what company valuation this starts counting and under which circumstances the person can get paid out that value (or not).
In general, this is a great way to motivate people towards long-term company results.
Virtual dividend
Alternatively, or in addition, the virtual share can entitle the person to receive cash whenever the company makes profits and certain predefined conditions are met.
Things such as the number of hours worked in a certain period of time or the short-term targets one has achieved (or not) can determine the final payout.
This mechanism often replaces traditional "profit sharing schemes."
