EMI Valuation

Fast & Easy Valuations for your EMI Option Scheme

An accurate EMI valuation is essential for securing HMRC approval. We provide expert EMI valuations, helping businesses get the right valuation while ensuring compliance.

The Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme allows businesses to grant tax-efficient share options to employees. However, before issuing options, companies must obtain a fair market valuation and seek HMRC approval to ensure the scheme meets tax requirements.

At Launch Accounts, we specialise in EMI share scheme valuations, ensuring businesses submit accurate figures to HMRC. We handle the valuation process and HMRC submission, but legal structuring and paperwork should be completed by your legal advisors.

Determining the fair market value of your company’s shares
Preparing an EMI valuation report for submission to HMRC
Liaising with HMRC to seek approval for the proposed valuation
Providing guidance on tax-efficient share option pricing

What are year-end accounts, and why are they important?

Year-end accounts are a summary of your company’s financial activity over the accounting period. They include a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet. These reports are required for compliance with Companies House and HMRC and help businesses assess financial performance and tax obligations.
When do I need to file my accounts with Companies House?

Limited companies in the UK must file their annual accounts within 9 months of the company’s financial year-end. Filing late can result in penalties, so it’s essential to work with a reliable accountant like Launch Accounts to meet deadlines.
