INVEST IN STARTUPS

Are you planning to invest in an exciting new business? If so, you might be able to benefit from a range of Government tax reliefs.

If you’re operating a startup company, the same reliefs can also help you unlock the investment you need when you’re beginning to trade.

The seed enterprise investment scheme (SEIS) and the enterprise investment scheme (EIS) both offer tax reliefs to individual investors when they buy shares in up-and-coming companies.

These include income tax and capital gains tax relief, up to different limits depending on the scheme you qualify for.

The SEIS generally applies to investment in smaller, start-up companies, while the EIS can apply to growing ones.

We can explain the way the reliefs work, which one you might be eligible for, and support you throughout the process of claiming them. We can also advise on how new businesses can use SEIS and EIS to bring individual investors on board.
