COMMITTED CAPITAL GROWTH EIS
We are a growth stage venture capital investor, and our investment strategy has remained unchanged since 2001.
The Committed Capital Growth EIS is an evergreen fund offering investors the opportunity to invest into a portfolio of actively managed, growth stage, post-revenue (over £1m) technology companies, whilst also benefitting from the availability of the generous tax reliefs afforded by EIS.
We invest in a range of technology sectors where we believe the potential for significant capital growth exists, and where we can offer hands-on support to facilitate and accelerate growth before ultimately helping identify potential exit opportunities.
• Minimum Subscription – £15,000
• Target Return – 2-3x ROI (excluding tax reliefs)
• Deployment – We currently have a portfolio of 6 investee companies available for deployment before 31 March 2022.
• HMRC Advance Assurance – We always ensure this is received before capital is deployed.
• Regional Investors – We seek out innovative, high growth investee companies throughout the UK.
• Exit Strategy – The intention is to exit within 4 to 5 years of monies being invested via trade sale, IPO, or where appropriate, a sale to a strategic investor.

EDITION EIS
Edition Capital is an established EIS manager with particular expertise in the leisure sector and has a track record of achieving significant upside for previous EIS Investors.
Over the last decade, consumers have been shifting their expenditures from goods to experiences. The trajectory of this growth in spending on experiences is expected to accelerate post-pandemic, with pent-up demand to socialise and c. £160bn saved across UK households. The Bank of England expect a material recovery in household spending as the vaccination program has been rolled out, with GDP projected to recover rapidly towards pre-COVID levels over 2022. Businesses that have survived the pandemic face less competition, more favourable terms with landlords and are well placed to take advantage of the post-recession recovery.

Investors can expect to gain exposure to businesses within the Hospitality, Live Entertainment, Digital, Content Creation and Lifestyle & Well-Being sectors.

Key Features of Edition EIS Investee Companies:
• Proven business model, with potential to roll out and generate high levels of growth
• Focus on later stage businesses which are profitable and are looking to scale up
• Strong management teams with excellent track records to execute strategy
