Philip recently sat down with Ross Davidson of Amplifi for the launch episode of his new “Ross Asks” interview series, which brings together founders, investors, advisers and operators to discuss the topics that matter most to growing businesses.
The conversation covers the full range of EIS, SEIS and VCT questions that founders and investors encounter in practice, including the most common mistakes made during fundraising rounds, what the Finance Act 2026 limit increases mean for scale-up capital, and why small technical missteps can become significant problems at due diligence.
Philip also shares a case study in which the firm successfully obtained advance assurance for a medical device company after a previous adviser’s application had been rejected by HMRC, securing approval within a fortnight.
