Discover how the strategic alliance between GrowthInvest and Hardman is set to elevate EIS investment opportunities, providing investors and advisors with enhanced resources for tax-efficient investing.
Introduction
In the evolving landscape of UK investments, tax-efficient investment opportunities are gaining significant traction. Recognizing the potential to bolster this sector, GrowthInvest has partnered with Hardman, a leading research provider, to distribute comprehensive EIS reviews. This collaboration aims to empower advisers and investors with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).
The Importance of Tax-Efficient Investments
Tax-efficient investments like SEIS and EIS play a crucial role in fostering innovation and growth within the UK startup ecosystem. These schemes offer substantial tax reliefs, incentivizing investors to support early-stage companies. By reducing the financial barriers to investment, they encourage the flow of capital into promising ventures, driving economic development and job creation.
Benefits of EIS for Investors and Startups
- For Investors:
- Income Tax Relief: Investors can claim up to 30% income tax relief on investments up to £1 million.
- Capital Gains Tax Deferral: Gains from prior disposals can be deferred when reinvested in EIS-qualifying companies.
Tax-Free Growth: Any capital gains on EIS investments are free from Capital Gains Tax (CGT).
For Startups:
- Enhanced Funding Opportunities: Access to a broader pool of investors motivated by tax incentives.
- Business Growth: Increased capital enables startups to accelerate product development and market expansion.
- Risk Mitigation for Investors: The tax reliefs make investing in high-risk startups more attractive.
