What is EIS?
The Enterprise Investment Scheme is a government scheme that shares the risk of backing start-ups.
Young companies are risky to invest in, so they can struggle to raise money. Since 1994, EIS has given investors tax relief in return for buying new shares in qualifying UK companies and holding them for at least three years.
The business gets the funding it needs to grow. You get a cushion if things go wrong and tax-free growth if they go right.
You buy shares
You buy new shares in a company that qualifies for EIS.
The company grows
Your money funds hiring, product development and growth.
You receive your certificate
The company sends you an EIS3 form, which you use to claim your relief through HMRC.
You hold for three years
Keep the shares for the minimum period and the reliefs are yours to keep.
