Need investment?

If you are looking for investment in your business, you will know that many investors are seeking to place funds under SEIS and EIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme and Enterprise Investment Scheme), which offer highly attractive tax relief incentives on their investment.

Advanced Assurance from HMRC will show investors that your business qualifies under these schemes and thus make it a more attractive investment, but a recent tightening of rules around issuing this Advanced Assurance leaves businesses with a dilemma: It’s harder to get investors without Advanced Assurance, and it’s harder to get Advanced Assurance without investors.

The Chamber Finance Finder likes to make things easier, not harder. Our panel of investors can be used to prove to HMRC that there is serious interest in your company, helping you to win coveted Advanced Assurance status.

Andrea Reynolds, Founder and CEO at Swoop has written a blog about how SEIS and EIS work (don’t panic! No jargon!) which you can read here.

If you’re thinking about raising investment for your business, you can save a lot of time and money by getting in touch with Swoop’s experts early.
