Downing Growth
Estate Planning Service

The Downing Growth Estate Planning Service aims to provide IHT relief after two years and targets annual returns of 5-7%. We invest in businesses that we believe will qualify for Business Relief (BR) and that benefit from asset backing, meaning they are backed by tangible assets or an income stream.
