Bell Open Share Offer

Yes, at last - you will soon be able to become a shareholder member of The Bell Co-operative Society!
We are putting the final touches to our share offer documents, and you will be able to apply for shares by mid-June.
This will be open to both existing and new members.
We have put together a page about the share offer here: www.bellcommunity.org.uk/shares
So go and have a look, and if you sign up with email on that page, we will send you a reminder when all the share offer documents and application form are available and ready to go.
In the meantime if you have any questions or comments - please post on this forum or you can email us at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
And go and have a drink in the Bell while you mull it over!
Cheers!

Awesome!
Can I buy shares on behalf of someone else, and is there a lower age limit?

Hi Scarlett,
The minimum age for an applicant is 16
The application has to be made and signed by the holder of the shares with all their details on the application.
You can pay for it directly yourself via the bank transfer/ cheque using their name as reference (refer to payment section of the application)
Hope that clarifies, please let us know if not!
Tom

Couple of other queries that have come up:

The shares will be allocated on a first come first served basis, when we have reached our target the share offer will close.

This share offer does not qualify for Social Investment Tax Relief.
The first share offer in 2013 qualified for the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) where you could claim 30% tax relief.
But not this time I'm afraid!
