最近论坛上谈论创业投资的比较多,分享下SEIS这个Scheme。
这是政府的一个促进创业投资的scheme,英国Private Investoers谈得比较多,但国人貌似谈得很少。主要是tax relief。
These are the tax reliefs you can get through the SEIS:
Individual Income Tax relief of 50% of the amount invested
Exemption from Capital Gains on earnings from shares
Profits realised within three years are exempt from Capital Gains if reinvested in the SEIS
Loss relief if the company fails (even if this is within the three-year hold period)

回复下点评:考虑通过这些平台投资的人最好先查下这些平台的融资成本。Seedrs是比较老牌的fundraising platform了,融资额6.5% +£3000的固定手续费。我身边比较好的项目都是通过Private Investors或者VC融资。真正愿意跑这些平台融资的项目质量……通过投资平台的确省事,但既然想赚钱,就不要图省事。这个Scheme适合那些交着40%的税,没什么经验,想投资创业就担心风险的人。如果身边有知根知底的朋友打算创业,这个scheme很合适。
