Business Expansion Scheme (BES)

Have come into a lump sum and one of the tax effecient manners to digest this money is to go into a BES scheme. I am familiar with the concept but dont know anybody who has participated. Any advice re particular experiences with BES or perhaps suggested BES schemes currently avail would be greatly apprecited.

Rather than a scheme, consider a fund. Most are not that amibitious in terms of growth, relying on investor tax rebate to generate interest. Does anybody have a list of BES funds apart from BDO Davy, Simple.ie and Pinnacle ?
