FinePrint Solutions Equity and company decisions

Grant stock and options with every approval in place

Tell FinePrint Counsel who gets equity, how much and on what terms. Its Corporate teammate checks the plan, the shares left in it and the board approvals in your records, then prepares the grant. You see the plan and the price first. Lawyers supervise the work.

Proposed grant

A grant starts before the offer is signed

Tell FinePrint who gets the grant, how much and on what terms. Upload the equity plan, the stock records and the approvals to your account. If two figures disagree, the task waits until they are resolved.

The record

It checks the record before it drafts

A grant needs a current plan, enough shares left in it and a board decision. FinePrint Counsel asks for any fact that is missing. A grant mentioned in an email is not an approved grant.

A promise of equity is not a board approval.

The plan

See the documents and decisions in the plan

The plan lists the documents it will prepare, the facts you must supply, what the work will cost and where a lawyer reviews. Issuing founder stock and adopting an equity plan are in the catalog too.

Lawyer review

Additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer

Legal work follows a process lawyers approved and sample-check. Work that needs additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer's review. On a grant, that can include a change to who owns the company or a grant made before the board approved it. You see the lawyer's decision and the reason in the task. If you already have a lawyer, tell us how you want the work shared.

Equity and governance

Does FinePrint decide who receives equity?

No. Your company decides who gets what and gives the approvals. Your Legal AI Team prepares the paperwork from those decisions.

Does FinePrint give tax advice on a grant?

No. The tax answer depends on the company, the person and where they live. Bring those facts to the task, and FinePrint Counsel shows which questions wait for a lawyer.
