Advisor

As a professional advisor in Wales what can xénos offer me?

xénos is a business introduction service which introduces investors to start up and established companies seeking to sell an equity interest in their business for additional funding.

xénos offers the opportunity for professional advisers to offer their clients something different. We deal exclusively with unquoted companies which are seeking expansion or start up finance. These companies normally qualify for Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) tax incentives where there is the possibility of rolling over gains and/or avoiding income tax.

xénos does not become involved in the due diligence that would be necessary in placing investments, nor does it offer investment advice to investor or company. Consequently, both parties are always advised to seek professional advice in relation to these issues. This is where the professional adviser can add value to their clients.

As part of our services, private investors:

  • Are presented with a strong dealflow of investment opportunities throughout Wales;
  • Can access companies of all sizes across the full spectrum of industry;
  • Have the opportunity to make tax efficient investments under the EIS scheme;
  • May mitigate tax gains through approved roll over relief and retirement relief provisions;
  • Can network with like minded investors and possibly syndicate larger deals;
  • Attend Investment Fora which are held regularly throughout Wales;
  • Have the opportunity to purchase companies for sale;
  • Be presented with possible non executive director positions.

Companies seeking investments:

  • Are introduced to a major source of "equity gap" finance;
  • Have access to a source of growth capital and management expertise;
  • Can access a world wide audience of potential investors for the proposal over the internet;
  • Could access other business angels throughout the UK at no extra charge;
  • Are given the forum to advertise the sale of non core activities.
