”Tillgång till kapital är en avgörande framgångsfaktor för nystartade och unga
företag samt för expansiva och innovativa företag. Dessa företag kan dock ha svårt
att finna extern finansiering. Därför aviserade regeringen i budgetpropositionen för

”Avdrag ges med högst 650 000 kronor per person och år. För att kunna göra ett
maximalt avdrag krävs då en investering om 1 300 000 kronor.”
