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.

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.
