SEIS and EIS diligence for UK startups raising capital. Advance assurance applications, share structure design and HMRC-compliant investor evidence packs.
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) offer attractive tax benefits but involve detailed compliance requirements. We help you design qualifying investment structures, prepare business plans and information memoranda, and obtain advance assurance from HMRC. Our team ensures that share classes, investor rights and timing align with scheme rules, making your offering more appealing to prospective investors. By clarifying obligations early, we minimise the risk of disqualification and protect investor benefits.
Once your SEIS/EIS funding round closes, ongoing compliance is essential. We assist with shareholder communications, maintenance of statutory records and submission of EIS3/SEIS3 certificates. Our advisers monitor use of funds to ensure they meet qualifying criteria and help you prepare annual compliance statements. By keeping investors informed and regulators satisfied, we strengthen trust and pave the way for future funding rounds.
