Throughout this book you will find many references to the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), which is a series of tax advantages for private individuals investing in smaller companies. It is described in detail in Chapter 6.

To complement the EIS, in 2011 the government launched the Angel CoFund for companies based in England – with Scotland and Wales having their own regional funding through Scottish Enterprise and Finance Wales. It is a £50m fund which is prepared to invest amounts from £100,000 to £1m alongside a syndicate of angels and on the same terms. It is of particular importance that applications to it must come from the angel syndicate and not from the company that needs money.

The CoFund is discussed further under ‘Angels and syndicates’ in Chapter 3.
