Fast Growth Business

When does crowdfunding trigger a tax bill?
Planning opportunities under the new employee share scheme rules
Ensure your clients don’t miss out on new Government incentives

 

In recent years we have seen a change in the way that some business owners seek funding for their business ideas.

 

Changes to the employee share scheme rules have also meant that start-up companies have a greater level of flexibility when it comes to issuing shares or options to key personnel during times when cash flow is tight (or non-existent) or when trying to align the interests of employees and the business owners. On top of this the Government has also introduced specific tax concessions aimed at start-ups, particularly for ‘angel investors’.

 

Now is the perfect time to make sure that you and your team are up to date with all the latest developments in this area.

 

This webinar brings you up to speed with the array of recent tax initiatives available to fast growth and innovative start-up businesses.

 

Who should attend?

Great for all client facing team members but essential for Seniors and above.
