The ESOP tax trap: what your startup offer letter doesn't tell you

The Business Index Desk·Jul 4, 2026·9 min read

What your startup offer letter doesn't tell you. A Business Index Desk preview — full data build lands at publication.

This is a preview edition from The Business Index Desk. The reporting and full dataset behind this story are being finalised — the numbers, tables, and charts will be completed at publication.

We work from primary sources: filings, exchange data, and regulator disclosures, not the press release. [Subscribe to The Week](/subscribe) to get the finished version first.
