Fuel Ventures Scale-Up EIS Fund specialises in seed stage investments in the European marketplace, platforms and SaaS sectors. As the early-stage investors in some of the UK’s fastest-growing technology businesses, the team at Fuel Ventures are able to benefit from high volume deal flow and identify the companies that have the potential to be the next UK high-growth companies.

Investment Strategy
The Fund will seek to invest in promising companies at the seed stage. The four-stage approach used in identifying a potential Investee Com
Outlined below is the Investment Manager and Investment Adviser’s four-stage approach used in identifying a potential Investee Company:
  • Identification: All identified opportunities will be evaluated before moving to the discovery stage.
  • Discovery: The Fund seeks to invest in people as much as ideas. 
  • Evaluation: Fuel Venture’s evaluation process tests the assumptions of the company plans.
  • Investment
EIS tax incentives

The companies the fund invest in are expected to be EIS-qualifying, which makes Fuel Ventures Scale-up 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 (or 50% capital gains exemption for SEIS)
  • 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.
