SEIS & EIS FUNDING
A unique fund, investing in product & service start-ups in compelling markets, creating innovation & building the brands of tomorrow.
An innovative approach to UK SEIS & EIS fund investing – a monthly competition, with around one hundred businesses considered each month. From this wide pool, businesses are selected by real world, commercial entrepreneurs with deep brand, marketing, retail & innovation expertise. Then ongoing help is given to the selected businesses by experienced, investor directors skilled in accelerating growth & reducing risk.
The Fund is managed by experienced early and growth stage fund manager – Amersham Investment Management (authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 507460). All investments qualify for attractive SEIS or EIS tax reliefs and investors receive ‘mini-portfolios’ of typically 3 or 4 businesses for some diversification.
