In the fifth of the basics mini-series for the EIS Navigator we discuss the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS). Jenson Ventures is one of the longest standing SEIS managers, and Jeffrey Faustin has been with them for over a decade so has lots of knowledge to share about the scheme.

Jeffrey gives a good introduction to SEIS, covering what an investor needs to get started. The topics we cover in the discussion include:

• what is the aim of SEIS?
• how does the government ensure companies get new money?
• what sort of companies can investors buys shares in?
• what sectors are normal
• how investors can access SEIS investments
• how do investors get their return?

Watch out for the next episode which covers SEIS tax reliefs. Enjoy!
