Tailor Equity to Your Company and Your Team

Set up your employee pool and ESOP plans tailored to your company's growth, from early-stage grants to complex, multi-jurisdiction rollouts. Qapita supports custom vesting, grant agreement and transaction workflows, and all major award types – ESOPs, RSAs, RSUs, and SARs.

Built Around the Participant Experience

Configurable dashboards, tax guides in 160+ countries, and employee education sessions are built to engage your team. Because the success of your ESOP plan isn’t about the admin – it’s about helping your employees understand, value, and trust their equity.

Compliance That Doesn’t Get in the Way

From preparing IFRS 2 expense reports to generating audit-ready disclosures, Qapita keeps your company compliant and transparent at every step. With automated calculations and easy report generation, you can close your books quickly and give auditors the clarity they need - all in just a few clicks.
Benefits

From Agent to Lead, every role gets the tools to thrive

Traditional QA methods are time-consuming and limited, providing only partial insights that slow down feedback or consistent, data-driven improvements.
Plan Design & Setup

Start Strong with ESOP Plans That Scale

Qapita makes it easy to create your option pool, implement your ESOP plan, and start granting equity from day one. Whether your plan is drafted by your lawyers, your advisors, or Qapita’s own equity compensation consultants, our platform supports flexible setup for any equity or cash instruments – be it ESOPs, RSAs, RSUs, PSUs or Phantom Shares, with jurisdictional controls, rule definitions, and configurable vesting logic. You get a platform and a partner – to build it right the first time.
Grant Issuance & Approval Workflows

Issue Grants with Confidence and Control

From custom-branded grant agreements to automated approval flows, Qapita simplifies the full grant issuance process. Create grant templates, assign maker-checker roles, collect board consents, and get digital signatures – all through a secure, auditable workflow. Support for international employees is built in, so you can issue compliant grants across borders with no additional tools. Every step is streamlined, controlled, and globally scalable.
Employee Experience & Education

Create the Ownership Culture

Qapita helps you foster trust and alignment by making equity tangible for employees. Customizable dashboards let you communicate equity in your company’s voice - tailored to reflect your values, your language, and your goals. Share real-time valuations, milestone updates, and personalized views that show how equity grows with the company. Combine that with education sessions, local tax guides, and clear documentation to turn equity into a source of motivation, not confusion.
Transaction & Exercise Worfklows

From Promise to Payout - Empower Every Step

Qapita allows employees to take action on their equity, not just view it. Employees can initiate and complete transactions within a secure, compliant process. Admins can configure eligibility rules, blackout periods, approval flows, and exercise windows – ensuring that every transaction aligns with governance. Employee level tax rates, withholding calculations, payroll reporting, and supporting documentation are built-in, making equity real, trackable, and executable across every touchpoint.
Advanced Configuration for Global Scale

Equity Infrastructure That Grows With You

Qapita supports full flexibility – across instruments, plans, geographies, and roles. Run performance-based or milestone-triggered vesting, manage equity and cash-settled plans side by side, and integrate with HRIS, payroll for tax withholding calculations and mobility tracking. Dashboards aren’t one-size-fits-all either. Qapita lets you shape the employee experience to match your stage and equity philosophy – highlighting what matters most at each point in your journey. These design choices are shaped by decades of experience working with equity plans across regions and growth phases.

Value Added:
There are many ESOP consultants and software providers, but only Qapita has a turn key solution that supports the end-to-end ESOP journey. It helped us save time, making the entire process efficient.

Pain Points Addressed:
We got a top-notch advisory from the region's most tenured ESOP consultants and software support. It would have been painful to do the entire process offline and work with different partners for advisory and software." Real-time Support: "Qapita team diligently hand-held us throughout the implementation process and were highly responsive. The team showed a very high level of ownership throughout the rollout process.

Qapita helps Locad/Logistech digitally manage Cap Tables and ESOP programs. We are looking at Qapita Marketplace for solutions for Shareholder and Employee liquidity. Now, we are able to manage all our stake holders easily. In Qapita we grant ESOPs easily and digitally, and it was a great addition to our compensation package.
