The service you need to grow your business

High-growth businesses and investors have specific needs, and there are specific schemes in place to help them.

We help companies, investors, syndicates and accelerators to understand and claim the tax reliefs and incentives available to them, helping to grow their businesses and investments.

We’re also members of EISA.

Get advice to boost growth

Unlock early-stage investment with SEIS and EIS

We'll help your company meet HMRC conditions from day one. From securing Advance Assurance to managing ongoing compliance, we'll handle the technical elements so you can pitch to investors with SEIS and EIS status assured.

Equity incentives and share schemes

We design and implement tax-efficient share schemes - including EMI, CSOP, and Growth Shares - tailored to your company's stage to help you attract and retain top talent. We can help from negotiating HMRC valuations through to managing unapproved options, to avoid compliance headaches and increase the power of your tools.

Investor tax services

We provide specialist advice to help investors navigate SEIS, EIS, and VCT reliefs. From claiming upfront income tax relief to using Capital Gains Deferral and Loss Relief, we ensure your personal tax position is robust.

Tax and due diligence when selling your business

It's important to get compliance right or your value could suffer. We specialise in the commercial and tax intricacies of selling venture-backed start-ups, and can help with ERS and EMI checks so all HMRC filings and valuations are watertight, and commercial Support with different exit scenarios modelled to help you understand the exact tax impact of the sale.

Strategic spin-out support from research to revenue

Taking a concept from a university or corporate parent into a standalone company requires careful planning. Our support focuses on the tax-efficient transfer of Intellectual Property and structuring the company from the outset with future SEIS and EIS eligibility in mind, helping position the business for sustainable growth and investment readiness.

Accessing markets overseas

We can help with businesses looking to establish in the UK, or UK-based companies wanting to expand internationally.
