We back and support visionaries.
SEIS and EIS Funds
Work with us to set up SEIS and EIS funds. The Enterprise Investment Scheme ('EIS') is a tax-efficient investment scheme introduced by the UK Government in 1994 to incentivise investment into high-risk, early-stage companies. The government introduced the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme ('SEIS') in 2013 following the great success of EIS.
Investors hold their shares in the investee companies via a nominee. Sapphire can work with you in setting up the SEIS and EIS fund's structure.
SEIS and EIS funds are usually smaller than traditional venture capital funds but are generally less expensive and easier to set up due to a more straightforward structure. In addition, these structures also offer generous tax incentives for eligible UK investors.
“Technology integration plays a critical role in scaling climate disclosure practices efficiently.”
Sapphire venture capital funds
Sapphire can set up traditional 'LP/GP' structures. LPs
are the limited partners (investors) and the GPs are the operational managers who manage the day-to-day fund.
Work with us to set up a private equity fund, with a portfolio containing early-stage investments, or later stage follow-on investments of established companies.
Limited Partnership funds do not typically offer tax incentives but usually allow for non-restricted and larger investments into companies and larger fund sizes. This fund structure is more costly to set up and generally more complex.
property funds
Set up a property fund with Sapphire. Sapphire will collaborate with you in setting up the traditional 'LP/GP' structure for a property fund. LPs are the limited partners who invest in the fund, and the GP is the General Partner.
In addition to this, Sapphire is authorised to manage & operate Exempt Property/ Exempt Property Unit Trust ('EPUT') structure.
An indirect property investment means that the investor subscribes to shares in a company that, in turn, invests in properties. Through property funds, investors, therefore, have the opportunity to invest relatively small amounts in large-volume properties by way of professional fund companies.
