Dear Readers,
From 1st July 2016, the Australian Government is introducing tax incentives for early stage investors. "If you invest in a qualifying early stage innovation company (ESIC), you may be eligible for tax incentives." Find out more here. "The scheme is based on the successful UK Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme which raised over AUD$500 million in startup investment for almost 2,900 companies in its first two years." Together with the Advance Queensland Business Development Fund for Queensland based companies and R&D Tax Incentives etc, there are now a range of options available to both investors and companies looking for capital. To view opportunities that may qualify, please visit the BlueMount Capital or Funding Strategies websites, or contact us.
