SeedLegals Options review
A focused UK option-management platform with valuation, HMRC support and employee dashboards.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SeedLegals Options helps startups create and administer employee share option schemes. It is aimed particularly at UK companies managing EMI options for eligible employees and unapproved options for contractors, advisors and others. The platform covers scheme rules, board resolutions, option grants, agreements, vesting and exercise, while giving employees and other option holders a dashboard for grant terms, vesting status, documents and estimated option value.
Pricing is straightforward but concentrated in one paid tier. The Options plan costs £2,699 per year plus VAT, billed annually, and includes unlimited EMI valuations, unlimited EMI and unapproved option schemes, and unlimited option grants. It also includes an options calculator, employee dashboard and expert support via chat. A 7-day free trial is available. The plan’s main value is its connected workflow: companies can move from valuation and scheme creation to grant documentation, online signing, vesting-status tracking and exercise-cost calculations in one web platform.
The product’s focus is a strength for startups working specifically with UK EMI schemes, especially where valuation and HMRC-related workflows are central. Customisable vesting and exercise rules, agreement generation and employee access make it more than a simple cap table or document tool. Its scope is narrower for companies seeking management of other equity award types, and the annual price may be less suitable for very early teams with occasional option activity. Choose SeedLegals Options when EMI and unapproved options are the core requirement; consider a broader equity-management product when the company needs wider award coverage or a different platform mix.
