Our Venture Capital team focuses on advising VCTs, EIS/SEIS investors and funds, as well as companies seeking investment under these regimes. The venture capital regimes can be complex and it is critical that clients receive advice they can rely on. Our team of specialists are committed to helping our clients navigate this complexity.

RSM can assist you with obtaining HMRC advance assurance that your company meets the required conditions and assist with your compliance obligations to give the necessary certification to your investors in order for them to claim tax relief.
