Our own SEIS and EIS fund will be a multi-sector fund targeting growth, comprising a portfolio of 5-10 high potential qualifying companies to be targeted via our rigorous due diligence process. Prospective investors will invest in the fund and the discretionary fund manager will select specific companies that are to receive this investment. This fund will mitigate investment risk through grouping together smaller businesses.

The Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS)

An EIS offers tax relief to investors of small unquoted companies carrying on a qualifying trade in the UK in order to encourage investment into small businesses. The maximum amount of capital that a small business can raise through an EIS investment is £1 million. This makes an EIS ideal for small companies looking to grow rapidly. ECP works in conjunction with a professional team of advisers, who recommend EIS products to the adviser firms.

The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)

Introduced in 2011, the SEIS is designed to help small businesses raise capital by offering tax relief to individual investors who purchase new shares in those companies. The maximum sum that a growing business could raise through the SEIS is £150,000. The SEIS is intended to recognise the particular difficulties that very early stage companies face in attracting investment, by offering tax relief at a higher rate than an EIS.

We help companies raise capital through Foreign Direct Investment opportunities all over the world. Simply put we identify HNW non-EU nationals and institutions who are seeking a diverse range of investment opportunities within the UK. There is no minimum or maximum investment amount. However, the deal size tends to average between £500K to £20 mil. It is our responsibility to match up suitable investors with appropriate companies.
