WHY EIS?
UNLOCK TAX-EFFICIENT GROWTH WHILE SUPPORTING UK INNOVATION
The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is one of the UK government’s most powerful tools to encourage investment in early-stage companies. By investing through EIS, you can reduce your tax burden, support innovative startups, and build long-term wealth.
​
At EIS Growth, we help investors take full advantage of these generous benefits while navigating risks with confidence and clarity.
WHAT IS EIS?
EIS is a government-backed scheme designed to promote entrepreneurship and innovation by encouraging private investment in high-growth startups. In return, investors receive a range of valuable tax incentives — all while helping shape the future of UK industries like tech, green energy, and healthcare.
KEY BENEFITS OF EIS INVESTMENTS
30% INCOME TAX RELIEF
You can claim 30% income tax relief on investments up to £1 million per year — or £2 million if at least £1 million is invested in knowledge-intensive companies.
TAX-FREE CAPITAL GAINS
If your EIS investment is successful and you sell the shares after holding them for at least 3 years, any gains made are 100% tax-free.

LOSS RELIEF
If a startup underperforms, you can offset the loss against your income tax or capital gains — lowering your overall exposure.
CAPITAL GAINS TAX DEFERRAL
Have gains from the sale of another asset? Reinvest them into an EIS opportunity and defer the capital gains tax due until you dispose of the EIS shares.

INHERITANCE TAX
RELIEF
EIS investments can be exempt from inheritance tax if held for more than 2 years and at the time of death.
WHY EIS MATTERS
