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
Less than £15 million in gross assets
Must not have raised more than £12 million total through EIS or other state aid schemes

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.
