FOR OPTIONS HOLDERS
Maximize your net worth
As an option holder in a private growth company, it’s important to proactively plan to maximize the value of your stock options. The actions you take—and when you take them—have a significant impact on your taxes and the ultimate dollar value you end up keeping for yourself. Owning your equity enables you to become a true stakeholder in the success of your company.
Get Cash to Exercise Your Option
Your stock options should feel like an opportunity, not an obstacle. We provide the money for exercise costs and related taxes, allowing you to be a shareholder which has potential tax and portability advantages among others.
Liquidity with Less Risk
Our financial solutions are structured as non-recourse1 transactions, meaning that only your shares are used as collateral, with no need for a personal guarantee. Compared to a loan or sale of shares, our solution can reduce risk, optimize taxes and maximize potential upside.
No Term or Interest Payment
The repayment of our transaction is not attached to a date, it’s attached to a liquidity event. You only pay when you get liquidity.
We Control Our Own Capital
We manage a dedicated pool of capital. Once we agree to work together, there’s no delay. We tailor each solution to the needs of our counterparties through a collaborative approach with them and their advisors.
