Crowdfunding
Take an equity in The Share Republic plc, an SEIS company, and get a potential 78% tax relief on your investment. That is if you invest £100K, you can offset £50K against your income tax liablity, and another £28K against your capital gains tax. And if we fail, you can claim a loss relief off your income tax. A top rate tax payer could potentially protect a £100K investment with £100.5K tax reliefs according to Doug Richard from School for Startups* . A smart way to invest in your start up company.
