@DanielPriestley It’s a travesty that more founders in the UK don’t make use of (S)EIS in their own company to legally mitigate CGT liabilities. Would love to talk about how we can jointly raise visibility of this route if you are open to it?
@Barney_H_Y Founders are crazy for not making use of SEIS to give themselves CGT exemption wherever possible. Such a great use of the scheme, but so often ignored because it takes some effort. Not as much effort as writing a cheque for millions in CGT though, I’d guess 🤷
