Accolade Enterprise Investment Scheme

Accolade shares are currently valued at five pounds each. £5000 is our minimum investment; the current maximum is £50,000. Each £5,000 invested produces immediate income tax relief of £1500.. These shares can be sold free of capital gains tax when held for 3 years, provided that Accolade continues to qualify under the EIS scheme. People who have made capital gains elsewhere can use an investment in Accolade EIS shares to defer taxation of their gain until disposal of these shares. As an employee owned partnership, there is a strong incentive for Accolade staff to work efficiently, thereby earning dividends for payment to all shareholders. £500 per £5,000 share value is a target dividend for 2010 = 5% annual return on investment. Employee Incentive Schemes encourage Accolade staff to buy shares that become available when investors choose to realise their EIS assets after qualifying for tax incentives. Shares are also purchased by Accolade Franchisees as a condition of their license agreement.

Short history of Accolade

Accolade was started on the proceeds of a bank robbery ! Our founder chased and captured an armed bank robber. Wisely he invested the reward money in office products for resale. Initially operating from a van, his business grew rapidly and profitably. Many employees recruited then are now Accolade Partnership shareholders. Customers have remained loyal for 30 years thanks to our low prices and superb service. Case Study for a customer endorsement of our Superb Service. Accolade offer Consignment Stock of office supplies for Vendor Managed Inventory systems. Fairtrade and Green Initiative items feature prominently in a range of more than 97,700 products.
