One of Captin's core services is the management and employee participation in the company's capital. It manages participation schemes for both listed and unlisted companies, allowing clients to reward their employees with shares or options and providing opportunities for employees to participate in the company's equity or debt on favorable terms.
Notably, Captin B.V. holds a license as an investment firm to operate a multilateral trading facility, receive and transmit orders, and execute orders. It is supervised by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), and is registered in the AFM register.
