We’ve Simplified SEIS & EIS in the UK, So You Can Focus on Growing Your Business
Looking to attract investment for your business? The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) are tailored to help startups and small businesses in the UK raise funds while offering tax reliefs to investors—turning your business idea into reality
What is SEIS?
The SEIS is designed for businesses in their early trading phase. It helps you raise up to £250,000 by offering attractive tax incentives to investors who buy shares in your company
What is EIS?
The EIS is focused on supporting established businesses aiming for growth. With this scheme, you can secure up to £5 million annually (up to £12 million over your company’s lifetime) through investments that provide tax benefits to your investors.
How Each Scheme Works
SEIS
- You can raise up to £250,000.
- Any de minimis state aid received within the past 3 years counts toward this limit.
- Funding counts toward future limits under other venture capital schemes.
EIS
- Raise up to £5 million annually, with a £12 million lifetime cap (including other schemes).
- The initial investment must occur within 7 years of your first commercial sale.
- Knowledge-intensive companies can access extended timeframes and funding caps
Important: Investors’ tax reliefs may be withdrawn if scheme rules aren’t followed for at least three years.
Seamless Assurance and Compliance Support
Advance Assurance
You can request advance assurance from HMRC to confirm your investment qualifies before issuing shares. We specialize in preparing this application and ensuring the risk-to-capital narrative meets HMRC’s requirements.
Compliance & Support
Once your shares are issued, a compliance statement must be submitted to HMRC. Our team can guide you through this process to ensure a smooth submission.
