So Why Invest in Private Equity?

​

Strong Government Encouragement

The government offers high cash and tax benefits and has done for a long time (see: "EIS").

​

Common Practice Enabling Balanced Investing

Stats show nationwide participation regularly and it is the encouraged source for elusive growth investments.

​

Income & Growth and the Government
