Millennial Generation Loves Crowdfunding: Will Industry Follow Suit?
The Millennial generation is increasingly interested in crowdfunding, an alternative financing system that allows members of the public to invest in a pitch before its completion. Many small companies have already caught onto this trend, and are using digital platforms to fund start-up and independent projects. However, crowdfunding isn’t just about getting a project completed.
Is SEIS / EIS tax relief available for investments in foreign companies?
On the first glance, It does not seem likely that the UK government would be that generous with its revenue. Nevertheless, these tax reliefs are available to investors in certain instances.
To be eligible for the relief, the company seeking the investment must have:
1. A permanent establishment in the UK for a period of 3 years from the issue of the shares.
2. All the money raised by the share issue must be used within two years in a ‘qualifying trade.’
3. The trade must be carried on by the parent company or subsidiary which is a 90% subsidiary for a period of 3 years from the issue of the shares.
What Marketing Opportunities Surround Companies who Crowdfund?
Crowdfunding is a popular way for small companies to raise money and provides many marketing opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable. Since many ideas that are crowdfunded are innovative and exciting, it levels the playing field for smaller companies to develop their products. It can be challenging for companies to create a successful crowdfunding campaign, but when done correctly, crowdfunding can be extremely effective. It offers the company a loyal following and the investment needed to create new products and services.
