Welcome to Beer & Partners Investor Site

After (for us) a relatively quiet start to the year, March has been an exciting month for us with:

* Five projects attracting investments totaling £1.3m during the month. 
* The first funding round of the Beer & Partners EIS Scheme closing. 
* A record high of new clients taken on seeking funding.

Since the turn of the year we have welcomed over 50 new investors interested in the type of investment opportunities that we act for.  

Beer & Partners EIS Scheme

The scheme is about to make its first investments and a second closing will be arranged to reflect the timing and amount of further subscriptions, to suit investors. There is no shortage of the right type of deal flow.  A minimum investment of £25,000 into the Beers EIS Scheme gives investors a tax efficient portfolio of early stage companies of high potential, chosen and managed by a team led by an experienced and successful private investor, who has invested his own funds in the Scheme.

UK angel investors survey

We are participating in the Survey of UK angel investors, which is part of the RICAFE2 project coordinated by Prof. Marco Da Rin at the London School of Economics (LSE). The Survey aims at providing new insights useful for your investment activities.
Around 40 respondents and a good number of companies completed this from our Stop Press in February.
