The Fuel Ventures Follow-on EIS Fund is an EIS fund specialising in seed-stage investments in the European marketplace, platforms and SaaS sectors. The Fund will carry on with the goal of investing in early-stage businesses. The Fund invests in rapidly growing sectors such as marketplaces, software and transactional businesses.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund will seek to invest in ‘follow-on’ investments into promising existing portfolio companies. Outlined below are the Investment Manager and Investment Adviser’s four-stage approach used in identifying a potential Investee Company:
  • Identification
  • Discovery
  • Evaluation
  • Investment
EIS tax incentives
The companies the fund invest in are expected to be EIS-qualifying, which makes Fuel Ventures Follow-on Fund EIS suitable for qualifying clients who would potentially benefit from the following tax reliefs:
  • Up to 30% income tax relief
  • Tax-free investment growth
  • Capital gains deferral
  • Inheritance tax relief
  • Loss relief
Please note: EIS tax reliefs are only made available to investors because of the higher risks associated with investing in early-stage companies.  Also, the availability of tax reliefs will depend on the investor's individual circumstances, and may be subject to change in the future. In addition, the availability of any tax relief depends on the investee companies maintaining their qualifying status.
