Investing in smaller businesses can often be viewed as risky. But there can
be significant tax incentives for investing in some companies, which help to
mitigate economic risk, the 3 tools of the british economy are:
Investors obtain a tax cut up to 30%, supporting small and unquoted companies, through the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) provides a rate of income tax relief of 50% for individuals who invest in qualifying seed companies.
Venture Capital Trusts (VCT) is designed to encourage individuals to invest indirectly in a range of small higher-risk trading companies, boosting the economy, receiving up to 30% of tax relief.
For those companies looking for alternatives to bank funding, the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) are options well worth exploring.
