Is your business or CIC looking to raise funds?

Are you feeling frustrated trying to secure investment for your business idea?


Have you exhausted all the conventional avenues?

- Seeking support from Friends & Family

- Venturing into Crowdfunding

- Approaching Banks for loans

- Pursuing Grants

- Seeking assistance from Business Angels

- Reaching out to Venture Capital firms


And yet, you've hit a dead end?


You've probably realised that the costs are exorbitant, and the hurdles seem insurmountable.

You might find yourself in a Catch-22 situation – either too early or too late for conventional investors' liking.

And those Dragon's Den-style investors? They're more like devils in disguise, focused solely on maximizing profits rather than understanding your vision.


You feel like you don't fit their mould, and the automated response is always a resounding NO!

Unless you're fortunate enough to have a wealthy relative, it seems like you're out of options.




But fear not! At Take a Punt, we're here to shake things up...

So welcome to Take a Punt (TAP), where we're rewriting the rules of investment.


Gone are the days when opportunities were reserved for the privileged few. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to pitch their promising ventures, regardless of their financial status. That's why we've created a platform that empowers everyday individuals to become stakeholders in exciting businesses with as little as £100.


TAP is more than just a platform – we're a community of "Pitchers." We reject the elitist connotations of terms like "founder," instead embracing the inclusivity and camaraderie of our unique label.


At TAP, we're not just another corporate entity. We're a community of Punters, individuals who dare to champion innovative ideas and budding entrepreneurs. We've redefined the notion of investing by placing emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility. Here, your role as a Punter is celebrated, as you play a vital part in supporting projects that might otherwise go unnoticed.


Our platform is a haven for opportunities that may not fit the traditional funding criteria. These are the diamonds in the rough, the ideas and ventures with immense potential waiting to be unearthed. We've simplified the process, asking you to consider three straightforward questions: Do you like it? Do you understand it? Can you afford it? If the answer is yes to all three, then why not take a punt?


But that's not all. For UK taxpayers, there's an added bonus: HMRC can underwrite part of your investment. It's an opportunity like no other, where dreams can truly become a reality for everyone involved.

Join us at Take a Punt, where the playing field is levelled, and opportunity knows no bounds. Let's make investment accessible, inclusive, and exciting for all.
