Don't increase financial thresholds for exemption from financial promotion rules
Under new regulations angel investors need to earn at least £170k or have at least £430k in assets in the last financial year. I believe this will disproportionately affect female investors due to existing gender inequalities in wages.
Female-run businesses may rely more on female investors. There is a disproportionate amount of men earning over £170k in the UK which may bias angel investment towards men.
Therefore, we believe the limits should not be changed until this has been a further reviewed and steps taken to make sure we level up investment in female led businesses.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
