Yes. The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) Agreement template is designed to be flexible and suitable for organisations of all sizes, including small businesses and charities. It follows UK employment law best practice, so even if you don't have an in-house HR team, you can confidently apply it.

Is the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) Agreement template compliant with 2026 UK employment law?

Absolutely. All of our templates are drafted with the latest ACAS guidance and UK employment legislation in mind. We review and update them regularly, so you can be confident they remain compliant.

Can I customise it for my organisation?

Yes, we highlight the areas that you need to update with your own details, and where you need to make decisions to suit your situation. This saves you time and ensures that you meet best practice.
