Sound familiar?
Our team doesn’t feel fully aligned.
I’m juggling too many roles.
Governance and compliance feel like afterthoughts.
We’re not ready for the next investor conversation.
Business is fine — but it could be stronger.
Once you’ve outgrown the DIY phase
Brash Solutions can take you to the next level.
Laying the foundations
Getting traction is exciting, but it can also get messy fast. Roles blur, agreements are patched together, and investors start asking tougher questions. That’s when you need solid foundations — so growth stays on track.
Brash Solutions can help:
Design an employee share ownership plan (ESOP) and other incentives to attract, align, motivate, and retain talent.
Handle tax, financial and legal issues to lay strong foundations for growth.

from our founder
You’ve built momentum
Let’s make sure growth stays on track
I started Brash Solutions because I could see how powerful employee share ownership plans (ESOPs) were as a business tool — but too few business founders or executives really understood them or had access to good advice.
As I worked more closely with smaller, growing companies, I realised ESOPs were only one part of the puzzle. Founders also needed help with governance, capital raising, and the legal and financial structures that keep growth on track.

TESTIMONIALS
In our clients' words
"Tribeca first engaged the services of Nick Brash in 2005 to implement an employee share ownership program. We found him to be an expert in this specialised line of work, a lawyer who speaks in plain English and someone who is very receptive to questions. Over the years we have engaged Nick on a number of occasions for employee share ownership plan related issues and I would highly recommend Nick to anyone."
“At a time when we couldn’t afford a full-time legal counsel or CFO, Nick effectively filled these roles – bringing big-firm expertise with the flexibility and affordability that startups like ours need. He helped us set up a fair and tax-effective structure for investor contributions, an employee share plan, key supplier and distribution agreements, a convertible note raise, an upgrade to our constitution, and an executive bonus scheme. His support helped us build the right foundation for our next phase of growth.”
"Nick was amazing throughout this whole project. He kept it simple and helped us focus on the end goal while making sure all legal requirements were met so we don’t have issues later down the path. A pleasurable experience for such a challenging topic."
"We were fortunate to be referred to Brash Solutions. Combined with a very strong and current understanding of financial and legislative requirements, Brash Solutions has delivered our organisation a clear, professional and compliant employee share ownership plan and overall incentive strategy for a very competitive fee. I have no hesitation in recommending Brash Solutions to other organisations seeking similar assistance and services."
"Thanks for your help with Employee Satisfaction & Productivity at Pickering Joinery. Since you came, employee morale has improved and our key people are ‘switched on’ and functioning really well. Whatever you did worked, and like I said to you, it was the best money I’ve ever spent! I look forward to working with you now to consolidate the new more positive working environment you’ve helped us to create.""
