Invest in British businesses directly.
You don’t need to be a City Banker to back British innovation.
The government’s Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) offer significant tax reliefs to individuals who invest in early-stage UK companies – making it easier and more rewarding for people to back the next generation of British businesses:

Use British-built tech products and services.
From fintech to health tech, Britain produces world-class digital products. Seeking out British-built software, apps, and platforms – rather than defaulting to American or overseas alternatives – helps sustain the ecosystems in which British innovation flourishes.
Support British start-ups as a customer.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for an innovative business is simply buy from them, use their service, and tell others about it. Early customers are lifelines for start-ups, providing not just revenue but proof of concept that attracts further investment.
