Sharesies launches equity solutions for private companies

Sydney, Australia – 7 August 2025 – Wealth app, Sharesies, today announced its expansion into providing equity solutions for private companies across Australia and New Zealand. The offering will enable private companies to leverage Sharesies’ expertise and technology to streamline private share registries, automate administrative tasks and foster deeper engagement with their investors through clear and secure communications and a dedicated investor portal.

The management of equity can be complex, time-consuming and manual for both administrators and shareholders. Sharesies simplifies this by providing a robust, consumer-level solution that brings efficiency to corporate actions, allows companies to manage their compliance obligations easily and helps build stronger employee and shareholder experiences.

“A company's registry isn't just a list; it's the bridge between a business and its most important stakeholders – its employees and shareholders. 

“In an increasingly changing  world, nurturing these relationships, fostering trust, and keeping shareholders engaged is crucial for companies to attract and retain patient supportive capital. We saw an opportunity to bring our expertise in delivering high-quality experiences to the private sector, to help companies strengthen that bridge,” says Wade Ranford, Sharesies Australian Country Manager.

This solution directly addresses the challenges faced by many private companies when managing their registries. By automating many administrative tasks, Sharesies is able to free up valuable time for companies, allowing them to focus on more high value work. Furthermore, it provides a platform where shareholders can easily view and interact with their holdings, significantly enhancing transparency.

The launch of Sharesies’ private registry solution is a significant milestone for the company, following the acquisition of private equity management platform, Orchestra, in 2024. Earlier this year, Sharesies indicated its ongoing growth intentions in its business offerings within the Australian market. 

The company also specialises in employee share schemes for both listed and private businesses, helping companies to raise capital across its 800,000 investor base, as well as its specialist investor relations platform, Sharesies Open. Its business solutions are used by over 600 listed and private companies, including dairy giant Fonterra, Beca, Les Mills and Air New Zealand.
