Everything you need to know about EIS Investing

Vala Capital Ltd (FCA number 827386) is an appointed representative of Sapphire Capital Partners LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 565716. You will find us at 2nd Floor, 21-22 Poland Street, W1F 8QH. This is the serious part: Investing in start-ups and early-stage companies involves risks. These risks include lack of liquidity (it can be harder to sell these types of investments), lack of dividends, loss of your investment, and investment dilution (when new shares are created the existing shares can fall in value). Investing in our portfolios should only be done as part of a diversified portfolio. There are no guarantees in life, so we cannot give any assurance the investments you make with us will be successful, or that the companies we invest in will be successful. Past performance is no guide to the future, and the value of an investment may go down as well as up. Our investments are only suitable for investors who understand the risks of investing in early-stage companies and can make their own investment decisions. Any company pitches for funding should be made through Sapphire Capital Partners LLP as the fund manager. Neither Vala Capital Ltd, Sapphire Capital Partners LLP nor any of their members, directors or employees can provide financial, legal or tax advice in relation to our investments. We suggest investors seek independent advice before making any investment decision, and to determine whether the investments are appropriate and suitable for their personal circumstances. Investments made in investee companies via alternative investment funds are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
