Certent to Showcase Equity Management Solutions that Deliver Simplicity & Scale for Startups
Certent Hosts 1st Annual Innovators Day at 8th Annual Certent Summit in New Orleans
ROSEVILLE, Calif., May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Certent, Inc., a leading provider of software-as-a-service solutions for equity compensation and financial disclosure management, announced today that its Equity Management Solutions deliver deeper functionality required by early stage to pre-IPO companies to manage and administer employee and investor equity plans.
With Certent Equity Management SaaS, pre-IPO customers can now manage convertible debt and SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) Agreements. For companies in early-stage development, equity management is multifaceted. It includes employee plans and requires the ability to manage debt from investors that can be paid back in equity, with or without interest. Profit interest units (PIUs) are interest in future profits and appreciation of the assets of an LLC. Original members now retain the full value of the LLC before the grant of the profits interest. Then, the recipient only shares in future profits and appreciation. In late summer 2019, Certent Equity Management solutions will support PIU (Profit Interest Units). Certent will also help direct ACH money transfers enhancements.
Over 3,000 equity professionals use Certent's Equity Management SaaS solutions. Its proven technology provides equity administration and management for companies with a few to 1000's of participants. Certent's new participant portal simplifies equity administration and plan management and offers equity financial reporting that complies with the most complex IRS laws.
