A specialist unit of
Roes Advisory

End-to-end MIP services, across the full lifecycle.

We take the operational complexity out of managing incentive plans — from initial setup through to participant exits and liquidity events. We work independently of any specific platform, adapting to your existing tools and processes.

Entry
Initial setup & configuration

Populate your system with MIP governing documents — commitment letters, term sheets, subscription agreements — and review for completeness.

Participant onboarding

Bulk-import data or guide participants through the onboarding workflow. Customise templates for local variations, track progress, and resolve queries.

Holding Period
Ongoing support

Handle routine changes (joiners and leavers), maintain participant data, organise and classify the document library, and provide ad-hoc advisory.

Liquidity event linkage

In liquidity event scenarios where target management reinvests in the MIP: assess plan impacts, support the reinvestment process, and manage associated legal documentation.

Exit
Participant exits

Process leavers via dedicated workflows including compliance checks. Coordinate payouts while liaising with all relevant internal and external stakeholders.

Across all phases
Integration of (external) legal counsel, tax, and financial advice into governing documentation
Advisory input on MIP mechanics, structure, and compliance
Stakeholder coordination and rapid escalation via specialist network

From first conversation to live programme.

A structured onboarding process ensures your programme is set up accurately and efficiently — with minimal burden on your internal team, and no dependency on a specific platform.

01
Introduction & scoping

We discuss your programme structure, number of participants, jurisdictions involved, and existing tools. We define roles clearly between your team, (external) legal counsel, and any platform — and agree on the right setup for your situation.

02
Document collection

We guide you through gathering the required documentation — commitment letters, subscription agreements, investment and shareholders' agreements — via a secure and structured process.

03
Validation & configuration

We review documentation for completeness, validate all data, and configure the programme. We only work with 100% verified data — regardless of which tools are used.

04
Go live & ongoing management

Participants are onboarded, the programme goes live, and we take over day-to-day administration for the duration of the hold — joiners, leavers, and everything in between.

Transparent structure, programme-specific pricing.

We work with a clear three-tier model covering the full lifecycle of your programme. Pricing is tailored to the size and complexity of your specific situation — get in touch to discuss what works for you.

01
Initial implementation & setup

One-time engagement covering initial configuration, data validation, and participant onboarding — whether into an existing platform or a new setup.

Fixed fee — budget certainty from day one.
03
Strategic & transactional work

Time and materials for work outside the retainer scope — structural advice, complex exit-phase administration, and M&A scenario management.

Applied at exit and for liquidity events.

Key assumptions: dependent on clear role definition and the client delivering data in a structured format. Exit-phase services are scoped and quoted separately.

Platform-agnostic. Technology where it adds value.

Our service is built around your programme — not around a tool. We work independently of any specific software platform, adapting to your existing setup. Where a digital platform genuinely improves the outcome, we can recommend and implement one on your behalf.

Dealstack
Implementation partner

For clients who want a fully digital programme environment, we work closely with Dealstack — a purpose-built platform for private equity investment programmes. We are an implementation partner and can handle the full onboarding, configuration, and ongoing management on your behalf.

Common questions from PE professionals.

A selection of the questions we most often hear from fund managers and their management teams before starting an engagement.

What do you need from us to get started? +
We need access to the core programme documentation — commitment letters, subscription agreements, investment and shareholders' agreements, and participant data. We guide you through the collection process and tell you exactly what is needed. The better organised the data, the faster and more accurately we can configure the programme.
Can you onboard an existing programme, or only new ones? +
Both. We regularly onboard existing programmes currently managed in spreadsheets or fragmented systems. We reconstruct the historical record, validate it, and migrate it into the agreed setup. If there are urgent joiners or leavers, we can handle those immediately and merge the records later.
How quickly can you start? +
We can typically begin within a week of scoping. The speed of onboarding then depends primarily on how quickly the required documentation can be collected and structured on your side. We manage that process actively to avoid delays.
Do you work across jurisdictions? +
Yes. We are Dutch law qualified and have experience across 15+ jurisdictions, with primary focus on the Benelux, broader Europe, and the UK. In our experience, approximately 90% of the bulk work — particularly documentation review and administration — can also be handled effectively for programmes governed by the laws of other jurisdictions. For jurisdiction-specific legal or tax advice we coordinate with your (external) legal counsel or can connect you to our specialist network.
What is the relationship between MIP Desk and Roes Advisory? +
MIP Desk is a specialist unit of Roes Advisory B.V. All equity plan-related work — implementation, ongoing administration, and advisory — is handled through MIP Desk. Roes Advisory also provides broader M&A advisory and transaction management services. You can learn more at roesadvisory.com.
