Vestd

Vestd (operating under vestd.com) is the United Kingdom's pioneer and leading Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)-regulated equity management and "sharetech" platform. Founded in 2014 by seasoned executive and entrepreneur Ifty Nasir, the company was built to replace error-prone spreadsheets with an automated, legally compliant ecosystem that enables SMEs and scale-ups to manage their corporate ownership seamlessly. The core of Vestd's technical infrastructure is its unique two-way real-time integration with Companies House, allowing corporate teams to instantly digitize cap tables, issue shares, distribute dividends, and file statutory updates without traditional legal friction or manual paperwork. The platform is the definitive UK specialist for designing, executing, and administering highly tax-efficient equity frameworks, including Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) schemes, growth shares, ordinary shares, and unapproved options, alongside providing in-house HMRC-compliant and 409A business valuations. Certified as a B-Corp and maintaining ISO 27001 data security compliance, Vestd serves founders, CFOs, and angel investors by providing secure data rooms, scenario modeling tools, and automated fundraising execution streams. In mid-2026, after scaling profitably on organic growth, Vestd secured a major institutional equity investment from Foresight Group to accelerate its product roadmap for enterprise compliance and drive international expansion. This milestone builds heavily on the recent launch of Vestd India, established via a strategic cross-border partnership with Trica Equity. Headquartered in London as a dedicated 100% remote-first organization, Vestd supports over 100 distributed professionals executing equity governance workflows for thousands of expanding British and global businesses.
