Set-price service, built for startups

Getting SEIS or EIS Advance Assurance shouldn’t be complicated or costly. We offer fixed, upfront pricing, so you know exactly what to expect – no surprises.

All prices exclude VAT.

SEIS Advance Assurance

Advance assurance from HMRC that your company qualifies for the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS). Secure tax relief for early-stage investors, helping you raise pre-seed funding faster.

EIS Advance Assurance

Advance assurance from HMRC that your company qualifies for the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS). Give investors confidence in your scale-up with tax incentives designed for growth-stage funding.

How SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance works

The SEIS and EIS are UK Government initiatives that offer tax relief to investors in early stage companies.

We’re talking substantial tax relief, including:

  • 50% income tax reduction (SEIS)
  • 30% income tax reduction (EIS)
  • Capital gains tax exemption (SEIS and EIS)

So, while it’s not mandatory, you can see how SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance from HMRC makes your startup dramatically more appealing to investors.

Eligibility (at a glance)

SEIS eligibility

  • Fewer than 25 employees
  • Less than 3 years old
  • Less than £350,000 in gross assets
  • Must not have raised funds through another state aid scheme

EIS eligibility

  • Fewer than 250 employees
  • Less than 7 years old

There are other finer-print requirements so we’ll start with a questionnaire to check if you’re eligible.

What if you need more support?

What if you don’t have the business plan and financials that HMRC want to see?

Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered, when others haven’t.

If you don’t have the business planning and financial documents you need for HMRC to grant you Advance Assurance, we can create them for you.

First though, we’ll start with a questionnaire to see if you’re eligible for SEIS/EIS. Then, we’ll chat about what you have and what you might need, in addition to our standard Advance Assurance service.

We’re all about no surprises so if there will be additional costs, we’ll chat about them first, before going ahead.
