The Enterprise Investment Scheme or EIS is an HMRC-run scheme that helps younger, higher-risk businesses looking to raise funds by incentivising investors with a 30 per cent income tax relief amongst a number of other tax incentives including the investment being Capital Gains Tax (CGT) free. The Seed Scheme (SEIS), for earlier stage companies, offers 50 per cent income tax relief.
Established in 1994, EIS continued to be supported through Labour governments and was made more attractive during the coalition government in 2011.
It was further modified a couple of years ago to shift the focus towards more innovative start-ups.
You can raise up to £12m through EIS funds (or in some cases £20m) and in the 2021/22 tax year, around 4,000 businesses raised circa. £1.7bn through the scheme. Investment sizes made through EIS funds remained robust during the Covid period, making the scheme still the best way for early-stage businesses to secure reliable capital.
With this in mind, we have put together a list of the top 20 EIS funds that you should know about.
We have listed EIS investor funds that cover a variety of regions, sectors, investment sizes and given examples of previous investments so you can make the right choices as to how to grow your business.
