“The Fidelity/Shoobx offering fills a critical gap for entrepreneurs by providing a flexible solution that grows with the company and eliminates the need to implement new platforms as a company expands. Instead, entrepreneurs can spend more time on building their business,” Mark Haggerty, Head of Stock Plan Services at Fidelity Investments.

Business growth can introduce complexities with company shares, ownership tracking and legal documentation management, increasing the risk of exposure to costly errors and negative business impact. Companies often evaluate and implement new business solutions at each stage of their growth, introducing multiple changes to crucial systems and requiring resources that could be utilized elsewhere.

By scaling with your business needs, it will remove the need to implement new systems, giving entrepreneurs and start-ups more
“Raising venture financing can involve thousands upon thousands of documents and corporate data, all of which has to be tracked and reported accurately to avoid issues with investors.
