Employee participation with virtual shares: an innovative incentive method

Employee loyalty and motivation are key drivers of company success. With virtual shares from Tokenize.it, companies can implement a modern and flexible form of employee participation—without the complexity and bureaucracy of traditional models like ESOP or VSOP.

How do virtual shares work to incentivize employees?

Virtual shares are digital, economic participations that allow holders to share in the success of the company without requiring commercial register entry as shareholders. By issuing these virtual shares, companies create an innovative participation culture.

Advantages for companies

Flexible design: Companies can customize vesting plans, virtual share distribution, and add a cliff.

Minimal bureaucracy: Unlike traditional ESOPs, no notary or commercial register entry is needed.

Control remains with the founders: Since virtual shares don't grant direct shareholder rights, you maintain complete decision-making freedom.

Attractive incentive model: Companies can enhance long-term employee retention by offering virtual shares as a bonus or profit-sharing.

Liquidity potential: Employees can benefit from virtual shares’ value appreciation or monetize during specific events (e.g., exit, liquidation).

Advantages for employees

Participation in the company's success: Employees gain direct economic stake, similar to company shareholders.

Motivation and loyalty: The potential for financial rewards strengthens company identification.

No tax burden on issue: Since no actual shares are transferred, tax liability only occurs at virtual shares creation ("minting").
