Why Businesses

Choose Us

We were completely confused about SEIS and whether we even qualified. They reviewed everything, handled Advance Assurance, and guided us through the entire process. Once we got HMRC approval, fundraising became so much easier because investors felt confident. They managed all the compliance and issued the certificates without any hassle. Honestly, it took a huge weight off our shoulders

SEIS & EIS benefits

Powerful Investor Tax Incentives
SEIS offers up to 50% income tax relief, while EIS provides 30% relief for qualifying investors. These incentives significantly reduce investor risk, making your startup far more attractive compared to non-qualifying opportunities
Reduced Investment Risk for Backers
Through loss of relief and capital gains tax exemptions, SEIS/EIS protects investors if the business underperforms. This risk of mitigation increases their willingness to invest larger amounts earlier
Stronger Fundraising Position
Companies approved for SEIS/EIS demonstrate compliance, structure, and credibility. Advance Assurance from HMRC builds investor trust and accelerates deal closure
Competitive Advantage in the Market
In a competitive funding landscape, SEIS/EIS approval differentiates your startup. Investors actively look for tax-efficient opportunities, and this positions you at the top of their list
Long-Term Capital Gains Benefits
Investors may benefit from capital gains tax exemption after holding shares for the qualifying period, making your startup an attractive long-term investment vehicle

What documents are required for the application?
You’ll need a business plan, financial forecasts, cap table, and company details amongst other documents.
Can I run SEIS and EIS at the same time?
Yes, you can structure a funding round using both schemes if eligibility conditions are met.
Can non-UK companies apply for SEIS/EIS?
Your company must have a UK permanent establishment to qualify.
How long does Advance Assurance last?
There is no formal expiry, but material changes may require re-assessment.
What’s the difference between Advance Assurance and Compliance?
