About Us

The Business

Icebreaker brings investors and entrepreneurs together through a series of limited liability partnerships.

Investors participate in Icebreaker LLPs investing in the know how and creative material of entrepreneurs, inventors and writers with a view to generating significant profits.

Icebreaker Management advises Icebreaker LLPs on their activities. We understand the importance of rights and support ongoing relationships with entrepreneurs. At the same time we enable LLPs to exploit the licences for commercial profit.

Icebreaker LLP’s at work

Joining a partnership:
Individual investors contribute a minimum of £125,000 capital. It is intended this will comprise a cash contribution of £25,000 and a loan of £100,000.
An investor’s cash contribution may also be financed by a loan subject to satisfying the criteria of the relevant lender.

IFAs and professional advisors with clients who could benefit from an Icebreaker investment, are invited to enquire about our competitive commissions.

Succeeding in partnership:
Icebreaker Management administers the day to day running of the LLPs, which includes communications to members and co-ordinating voting resolutions. We also monitor the agreements made with entrepreneurs to give LLPs the best chance of profits.

During the life of an Icebreaker LLP, attractive tax benefits are available to members who are UK taxpayers. A member’s share of the LLP’s expenditure will represent approximately 100% of their capital contribution. Losses can be offset against an investor’s other income in the current year and the previous 3 years for income tax by relying on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For capital gains tax, losses can be used in the current year and carried back one year.

After four years, investors may vote to cash in their individual participations, repay their financing and potentially realise a profit. A resolution to sell the partnership’s business should qualify investors for full business asset taper relief and an effective capital gains tax of 10%.
