About Guinness EIS

We look to build diversified portfolios for our investors and do this by investing across a range of sectors including technology, education, healthcare, manufacturing, retailing, leisure and food & drink. We target scale-up companies with at least £1 million of historic revenues so that we can focus on companies that have already proved their product, service or technology.

Diversification

We target approximately 10 investments per portfolio into a range of sectors such as technology, education, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, leisure and food & drink.
