Recommendation 17
17
Awareness and take-up of SEIS/EIS tax incentives remain low among women investors.
Recommendation
Tax incentives such as SEIS and EIS have proven effective in stimulating investment. Yet awareness, accessibility and take-up remain lower among women investors and outside of the South East. To achieve meaningful change, government and industry must work together to raise awareness of the benefits of tax incentives, build inclusive investment communities, and ensure that female entrepreneurs have equal access to the financial tools needed to grow and succeed.
