Share Offer
SaveEnergy is a community benefit society (CBS), this means we’re owned by local people for the benefit of the community. Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in our business, have a say in how we are run, help us improve more local homes and, if you are eligible, benefit from SEIS tax relief too.
Owned By You
We’re delighted to announce our first community share offer will be opening on 2nd April 2025 providing an opportunity to invest in the future of our business and have a say in how we are run.
This Pioneer Share Offer seeks to raise £100,000 in working capital to help us grow and deliver our mission. The minimum share purchase will be £100, and maximum is likely to be £10,000 or 10% of the value raised.
We cannot guarantee if or when investments in our Pioneer Share Offer would be repaid but we hope to return all investment capital to pioneer shareholders in due course. This element of risk is why our share offer has advanced assurance in place for the Government’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and eligible investors should be able to offset 50% of the value of their share purchase against their tax bill.
