Understanding SEIS and EIS
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) are designed to stimulate investment in small and early-stage businesses in the UK. These schemes offer significant tax advantages, making them attractive for investors.
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)
The SEIS Fund targets innovative companies developing disruptive technologies. These companies have high growth potential and strong commercial opportunities. SEIS offers investors attractive tax reliefs.
Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS)
The EIS Fund supports follow-on opportunities from our SEIS portfolio. It addresses the “EIS equity gap” by funding companies gaining commercial traction. This support helps businesses continue scaling.
Tax benefits
Both SEIS and EIS provide significant tax incentives designed to encourage investment in early-stage businesses. These include Income Tax relief, Capital Gains Tax exemption and loss relief.
Income tax relief
50% for SEIS and 30% for EIS upfront income tax relief which may be claimed for investments.
Capital gains tax relief
50% exemption from capital gains tax for SEIS and tax deferral may be available for EIS.
Loss relief
Loss relief may be available to investors at their marginal tax rate.
Inheritance tax relief
SEIS & EIS Investments are IHT exempt after two years.
How our funds work together
The SEIS Fund invests in nascent firms, establishing strong foundations. The EIS Fund then bolsters these foundations by providing follow-on capital. This synergy ensures firms receive ongoing support, maximising their growth.
Initial investment with SEIS
Our SEIS Fund targets new and innovative startups. This initial investment aims to create a robust foundation for future growth, focusing on companies with high potential.
Follow-on funding with EIS
Our EIS Fund provides crucial follow-on funding for SEIS-backed companies. This helps bridge the gap between early investment stages and larger-scale funding rounds, ensuring sustained business growth.
