FAQ
What is an ESOP / Stock Option Plan?
It is a master legal framework created by a company to allocate a pool of equity reserved for future stock option grants to employees, officers, and directors.
Why do I need a formal plan before issuing option agreements?
A master plan ensures tax qualification under US laws (e.g., IRC 409A) and sets standard governance across all issued options.
How big should my company's option pool be?
Option pools typically range between 10% and 20% of total fully diluted equity, depending on your hiring plans and investor expectations.
Is 409A valuation compliance covered in this plan framework?
The plan contains required IRC Section 409A provisions governing exercise pricing and fair market value determination.
Does this plan support both ISOs and NSOs?
Yes, the plan supports both Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs).
What corporate approvals are legally required to adopt an ESOP?
Adopting an ESOP requires formal approval from your Board of Directors and Shareholders, both of which are provided in my Standard and Premium packages.
Can this plan be modified in the future as my company grows?
Yes, the plan includes language allowing the Board to amend terms or expand the share pool size subject to shareholder consent.
Is this plan suitable for C-Corporations?
Yes, this plan is tailored specifically for C-Corporations (Delaware or any US state).
