Innovation

Pains or challenges?
...we are beginning to saturate
existing markets – we need to find
something new to continue to grow.
…don't see that the
organization needs to
change & adapt to
support & stimulate
innovation.
…our new products
are late to market &
suffer performance
problems.
…we’ve become a lot
more efficient but
we’re struggling to
come up new product
concepts & to
innovate.
…we’re too focused
on the day to day to
concentrate on
developing new
products.
…our people aren’t
capable of creating &
leading new product
concepts.
...we have a great
idea, but can’t
afford to do it.
…we’ve been growing
but we think our culture
is stifling further
innovation

Funding for Innovation
for Creative Enterprises

#createinnovfund

R&D tax credits
Have you ever…
• Solved complex technical or scientific challenges even
though at the beginning you weren’t certain how?
• Dealt with unexpected problems along the way?
• Spent more time and money on it than you intended?
• Needed to put in more effort and money to exploit what
you learnt and get a return on investment?
#createinnovfund

R&D tax credits
What do you need to do?
• Have activities that are liable to corporation tax
• Work out which costs you can legitimately claim – what
HMRC will consider ‘proper’ R&D
• Have your accountant submit each R&D tax claim as part of
an annual return
• Consider consulting lawyers if you have had other public
funds or aid, such as SEIS or Innovate UK funding.

…to start you need..
@capenterprise 44

No 1 source of Finance…
@capenterprise 45
Your Money, the money you can borrow, your
family and friends money…

Sound advice is…
Don’t Raise… …unless
• Can’t launch a product
into market without
external funds..
• Need to get big fast to
compete.
@capenterprise 46

“There is an opportunity gap when the
scope for growing income at a very fast
rate is limited for those who have too little
to invest , but expands dramatically for
those who can invest a bit more.”- i.e. to
win requires scale

Importance of Tax breaks
• EIS
• SEIS
• ECF’s
• Co-Investment Programmes
@capenterprise 62

@capenterprise
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme-SEIS is a tax break launched in April
2012 for UK tax payers to encourage them to buy shares in start-up
companies registered in the UK
The Facts:
• SEIS investors can input £100,000 in a single tax year rising to a maximum £150,000
over two or more tax years in to a single company
• Investors cannot control the company receiving their capital
• Investors pick up 50% tax relief in the tax year the investment is made, regardless of
their marginal rate.
• In the 2013-14 tax year, tax payers can roll 50% of a chargeable gain in the tax year
in to a SEIS with a full capital gains tax exemption (another 14%)
• The business must be a start-up company -registered in the UK within 2 years of
claim.
• The company must not employ more than 25 workers.
• The company must have assets of less than £200,000.
• The company has to trade in an approved sector – generally not in finance or
investment, for example, a property company raise capital as a SEIS.
SEIS is…… “a game changer”?

Ten slides. Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint
presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend
more than ten concepts in a meeting—and business angels are very
normal. If you must use more than ten slides to explain your
business, you probably don’t have a business. The ten topics that an

1. Summary and call to action/ what do you want?
2. Problem

#createinnovfund

The Live & Digital R&D project explored the
questions – can digital technology be used to:
• capture and distribute small-scale
theatre productions economically and
effectively to reach new audiences?
• retain the unique intimacy, engaging
quality and ‘liveness’ of performances?
• facilitate a viable and sustainable
business model around this?

Business model chart of accounts
• Profit and loss AND balance sheet structure reflects that this is
venture requiring risk capital and planned to make a profit
• Exploitation of film across multiple platforms & windows – and
ancillary rights (eg soundtrack) and spin-off products (merchandise)
• What the original producer(s) of the performance take as a fee can
significantly effect the profit of the film
• The costs of ‘producing’ – management, executives, commercial
negotiations, business affairs (legal) – need to be factored in
• There will usually be multiple investors – and multiple other
rightsholders with a share of profits – rights/profit share require
administration
