Issue tax-qualified stock options. No specialist required.
Nstock handles zeisei-tekikaku compliance for every grant, so founders can reward their teams with real equity without hiring a lawyer to decode each step.
Cap table, grants, and compliance in one tool
Built around Japan's actual rules, not a US product with a localization layer.
Zeisei-Tekikaku Automation
Automatically check every grant against the tax-qualified criteria before it is issued. No more manual review of the exercise price floor or holding period rules.
Real-Time Cap Table
One source of truth for all shareholders, option holders, and convertible note conversions. Updated the moment a transaction is recorded.
APPI-Aligned Reporting
Built-in data handling that meets the personal information protection requirements for financial records in Japan.
Vesting Schedule Engine
Model standard 4-year cliff schedules or custom arrangements. Employees see their own vesting timeline in plain language.
TSE Readiness Dashboard
Know your cap table is in shape for a Tokyo Stock Exchange listing before you ever engage an underwriter. Track outstanding issues in one view.
Employee Grant Portal
Each employee receives a secure link to review their grant, see vesting progress, and download their agreement, without an email chain.
Set up your equity program in three steps
From blank slate to a compliant, running option plan in a day, not a quarter.
Set Up Your Company
Enter your KK details, share count, and option pool size. Nstock validates the structure against current tax-qualified requirements automatically.
Issue Grants
Add employees, set share amounts and vesting terms. Nstock generates grant agreements, checks the exercise price floor, and sends each recipient a secure review link.
Stay Compliant
Track vesting, log transfers, and pull audit-ready reports for your lawyers and accountants. Alerts surface any compliance issues before they become problems.
US equity tools are not built for zeisei-tekikaku
Foreign platforms treat Japanese regulations as an afterthought. Spreadsheets become compliance liabilities by your 15th option holder.
Tax Risk From Manual Tracking
Missing the exercise price floor for a zeisei-tekikaku option converts a 20% exit tax into a 55% income tax for the employee. Manual processes miss these details.
Spreadsheets Don't Scale
A shared spreadsheet works fine for three shareholders. At fifteen it becomes a liability. Version conflicts and formula errors create audit problems at fundraising.
Investor Due Diligence Delays
When a lead investor requests a clean cap table on day one of due diligence, a disorganized equity record costs you weeks. Nstock keeps it audit-ready automatically.
