EIIS Partner Programme for Financial Advisors

Yes. Financial advisors can earn up to 3% commission on successful client investments in eligible BVP funds, paid from the fund’s one-off 3% commission and subject to regulatory compliance and agreement terms.

You can download the Information Memorandum and the 2026 Fund brochure from the top of this page, and use our tax relief calculator to model client scenarios. For anything else, use the Talk to our team button and Tadhg O’Maonaigh in our team will be in touch.

BVP conducts thorough due diligence and screening on all portfolio companies before investment, typically selecting 6–8 companies per fund.

BVP Investments Ltd is authorised as an Investment Manager by the Central Bank of Ireland under Section 10 of the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (Company registration no. 395161).

BVP targets a blended rate of 35%+ across the Fund’s portfolio.

The €1,000,000 figure is the statutory annual limit set by Revenue — it applies across all EIIS investments your client makes in a calendar year, not just BVP’s fund. If your client also invests in another provider’s EIIS fund in the same year, both investments count toward the same €1m cap. BVP’s €10,000 minimum, however, is specific to our fund.

No — €10,000 is BVP’s fund-specific minimum, set to keep the fund’s investor base and administration manageable. This is a BVP policy choice, not a Revenue requirement (the statutory minimum under EIIS itself is lower).

Not directly — there’s no income-based cap on the investment amount itself. However, the tax relief your client can actually use is capped by their income tax liability in that year (see the separate FAQ on liability). A client could invest €50,000 but only have enough tax liability to claim relief on part of it in the current year — the remainder can typically be carried forward

Clients with an income tax liability from PAYE earnings, rental income, dividends, or pension and ARF income, who have used their pension allowance and can commit capital for 4 to 7 years. Relief is against income tax only, not USC or PRSI. Clients should understand that these are early-stage companies and their capital is at risk.

Relief applies to the year the investment is made. An investment completed before the Fund closes on 31 December 2026 counts against the 2026 tax year, and unused relief can be carried forward, subject to Revenue limits.

We expect to issue EIIS certificates within 12 months of the Fund completing its investments. Your client then claims the relief through ROS or myAccount.

There is no early exit mechanism for investors. If an investee company exits within the minimum holding period, the tax relief on the portion invested in that company may be clawed back. Any compensation for withdrawn relief is set out in the Information Memorandum.
