The firm works with a variety of media clients, from leading industry names to innovative start-ups and entrepreneurs. Wiggin LLP has considerable expertise in setting up EIS schemes acting for both investors and the EIS company. Licensing of intellectual property where the value has been created by the company is expressly allowed under the EIS, thereby enabling companies in the media sector such as TV and film production to qualify. Our advice ranges from obtaining HMRC pre-clearance to structuring the arrangements (including all necessary documentation) and establishing EIS Funds – whether HMRC approved or not (including all regulatory aspects).
