Budget 2008 - Enterprise Investment Scheme
The Chancellor has today announced an increase in the individual investor limit from £400,000 to £500,000 – subject to EU State Aid approval. The detailed tests for companies and investors otherwise appear to remain unchanged.
Whilst this is good news for companies seeking to raise funds – one word of warning. State Aid approval can take a long time to come through.
