Step 1 - Choose which type of investment company structure you are interested in:
Conventional companies
Conventional companies issue one class of share and are the most common type of investment company
Split capital companies
Split capital investment companies issue different classes of share which have different rights and entitlements within the company. These different classes of share are designed to meet different investor needs.
Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs)
VCTs are very similar in structure to conventional companies but they invest typically in unquoted shares.
