What are the tax benefits of EIS?
EIS is a great way for your company to raise money and grow your business. It offers tax relief to individual investors who buy new shares in your company, which can amount to £5 million each year, and a maximum of £12 million in your company’s lifetime. This also includes amounts received from other venture capital schemes. In order to be eligible for EIS, your company must receive investment under a venture capital scheme within 7 years of its first commercial sale.
