Cape Cod Cellars

"The Sapphire team did an excellent job for my emerging company. As General Maximus Aurelius said in the opening battle scene of Gladiator "hold the line, stay with me". Churchill said "never quit" and Sapphire never quit for me." Tim Cooney, Director, Cape Cod Cellars Limited.

Description:

Sapphire successfully obtained the SEIS and EIS advance assurance from HMRC and assisted the Company in writing the investor documents such as the Information Memorandum.
