The Enterprise Investment Scheme, or EIS as it is also known, was introduced by the British government to encourage inward investment in small and medium enterprises. These strategies are only open to individuals, and the shares of the investment must be purchased in cash.
HMRC will provide what’s known as “advance assurance”, or “pre approval” to EIS Companies. What this means is that the Company will submit an application to HMRC providing an overview of the proposed business strategy of the Company. HMRC will then decide if this falls into the “qualifying criteria”.
The EIS Association was set up as an independent, not for profit organisation, to further the availability of capital and resource to SME’s through the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
If you are an EIS Sponsor or Operator and would like details of your Offer to be included on this website, please contact us using the details provided, and we will be happy to include this.
