As the UK population is rapidly vaccinated against Covid 19, and the lockdown measures are gradually eased, our first EIS Update of the year launches at a critical juncture for the UK SME ecosystem.
With the chancellor’s Spring budget effectively increasing the amount of taxes many clients will need to pay, while also looking to encourage investment, now might be the perfect time to introduce EIS as an efficient method of reducing their tax bill while investing in companies with great growth potential.
Of course, EIS remains high risk, and therefore not right for everyone. But for the right client, investing in SMEs today could see them investing in companies well positioned to take advantage of the post lockdown world.
