Demo company Tulpwerk. Numbers made up.
Every employee gets the same answer on their stake
Today
You dig out the price for every question
- The last report sits in an old email thread.
- Every employee question sends someone to a spreadsheet.
With Share Council
Everyone works from one dated price
- Each valuation keeps its date, comment, report and adviser's letter.
- Every holder sees their value in their wallet.
Record the price once and every holder sees it
We call it the Dated Share Price, because each price applies from its date.
You get a valuation
It comes from a funding round, your accountant or our partner Equidam.
We arrange a tax ruling if you want one
Share Council asks the Belastingdienst for you. Your adviser can still check it.
An admin records it on the Valuation tab
Add the date, a comment and the report.
Your holders see it
Certificates, wallets, annual reports and the trading-day price (in beta) use it from that date.
Next time, you add the next one
The chart keeps them all with their documents.
Price the shares and the certificates in one entry
Tulpwerk is our demo company, so the numbers are made up and the screens are real.
Its STAK issues one certificate per share, so Sanne's share price of 4.80 euros showed on the certificates from the same date.
Rather than endless documents or unclear structures, employees could simply log in and see how things were set up.
Employees check their value without asking you
Daan's wallet shows his certificates at the latest price, and he downloads his annual report himself.
Get a valuation from our partner Equidam
Equidam weights six valuation methods by your company's stage (sample report), and its report shows how it reached the number.
Order it on equidam.com, then record the price on the Valuation tab and attach the report.
Online valuation suits tech start-ups, scale-ups and service companies, so other businesses should book an expert hour first.
Check your price with the Belastingdienst in advance
This is general information, not tax advice. Check your situation with a tax adviser.
If employees get shares or certificates for less than they are worth, the Belastingdienst can treat the difference as wages (Jongbloed Fiscaal Juristen, updated 3 April 2026).
You can ask the Belastingdienst in advance for its view on your price (vooroverleg), and a documented valuation gives it something to work from. Share Council or our partner Equidam can make this request for you.
You can order a paid expert hour from your account to go through your plans first.

Know up front where Share Council stops
Share Council is not the right fit if
- You want certificates on the free try-outThe try-out creates shares only, and certificates and options need a paid plan.
- You want a price that moves every dayThe price changes only when you record a new valuation.
- You plan a public share offeringWe run private share schemes, not public offerings.
If you're unsure, book an expert hour.
Settle your doubts before you record a price
Will the Belastingdienst accept my price?
Nobody can promise that. Share Council can ask the Belastingdienst in advance for you, and a documented valuation gives it something to work from. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do I need Equidam to use Share Council?
No, any written valuation works, such as a funding-round price or an adviser's report. With Equidam, you type its result into the Valuation tab and attach the report.
What if a holder disagrees with the price?
Show them the date, comment and report behind the price. If questions remain, order an expert hour from your account.
Can I fix a valuation I entered wrongly?
Yes, admins can change any past valuation and delete any except an instrument's last one. The correction overwrites the old figures from that date until the next valuation.
Which plan do I need?
You can record valuations on your shares in a free account. Certificates and options need a paid plan.
Do I still need a notary or a tax adviser?
Recording a valuation involves no notary. You need a notary to found a STAK and to move BV shares into it, and an expert hour can cover your tax questions.
