The company helps UK businesses grow by investing in them via a wide range of tax-efficient investments including Venture Capital Trusts, Enterprise Investment Schemes, inheritance tax products and Individual Savings Accounts.

Downing currently has a 10-strong presence in a small rented office in Cardiff but is planning to increase this to 25 over the next few years as it expands its operations from its new premises.
