A Final Crowdfunding Opportunity

Zero has indicated that this may be its final crowdfunding round, with future funding likely to come from Venture Capital investment. The company anticipates a significantly higher valuation in future funding rounds, making this crowdfunding campaign a unique opportunity for early investors.

As an added incentive, Zero’s crowdfunding investment qualifies for Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) tax relief, offering investors:

• ✔ 30% tax relief on their investment
• ✔ No capital gains tax on profits at exit
