The British Robotics Scale-up Fund (the "Fund") seeks to back high-growth robotics, artificial intelligence and automation companies delivering large scale productivity improvements through autonomous technologies at the intersection of the digital and physical world.
The last decade has seen global productivity fall, natural resources be depleted and skilled labour pools contract in the developed world, despite rising labour costs and consumption levels. Against this backdrop, Britbots believe that autonomous technologies will provide the principle avenue for companies to improve their productivity and profitability.
The Fund focuses on business that are in the scale-up phase: having already proven their technology and established some initial customer relationships.
EIS tax incentives
The companies the fund invest in are expected to be EIS-qualifying, which makes British Robotics 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
- 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 personal circumstances, and tax legislation can change in the future.
