Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS)

« Back to Glossary Index

The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is a government program designed to encourage investment in small, high-risk UK companies by offering generous tax reliefs to investors. If you invest in an EIS-eligible business, you could benefit from income tax relief, capital gains tax exemption, and even loss relief. EIS is popular with investors looking for growth opportunities—and some useful tax breaks along the way.
