For investors prepared to take a step up the risk scale and invest in smaller and new-launch businesses the rewards can be dramatic. The UK government continues to recognise the economic benefit of such investment activity through ongoing and substantial tax breaks.

But regardless of the tax  breaks our experience is that such investment opportunities abound in the UK and they merit investor attention where appropriate. We have links to some of the UK’s most innovative hubs and sectors and have extensive experience of assessing, evaluating and helping develop exciting new venture businesses.
