Investment Objective

SidebySide EIS Venture Fund invests in fast-growing technology enabled businesses with £1 - 10 million in revenue.

– Focus on more established but fast growing, EIS businesses already making at least a million in revenue before we invest.

– Strong track record of the Funds founder John Bailye, a serial entrepreneur who has helped grow and build a number of successful multimillion and a billion-dollar business.

– Hands on model, we spend up to two days a month with each portfolio company helping to ensure they reach their potential.

– Co-investment: we believe in what we do and so have and will continue to invest our own money in the Fund to align our interests with that of the Fund investors.

– To allow for tax relief on 100% of the investment we do not charge any of ourfees to the investor. Investors will only pay performance fees once 150% of their invested funds have been returned.

– Carry back available for 2019/20 tax year (until 1st April 2021). Tax relief on 100% of subscription*

Exit Strategy

Our preference is to plan our exits well in advance, ideally via a trade sale. To ensure we get the best price from a potential acquirer, we plan to address all known internal or client issues well in advance and to set up robust governance structures and processes. Only then can we command the best price for our asset. This is a process that benefits the founders, employees and Investors.
