"As the Founder of an Investment Platform, I had many options of advisors for EIS and SEIS for a business I was starting. I chose Sapphire Capital for their expertise in the field, and was very impressed with their professionalism. Though we faced difficulties with HMRC, Boyd Carson spent a considerable amount of time in clarifying each point to HMRC, and the business has now been approved for SEIS and EIS. When looking at an advisory firm, it is important to find advisors that will be there for you when things go right as well as wrong. Thank you Boyd for all of your help." Rishi Anand, Founder.

Description:

Sapphire provided an automotive company with extensive corporate, regulatory and tax structuring advice, particularly in regard to SEIS and EIS.

Automotive.

Classification:
