SEIS and EIS support for UK startups.
SEIS and EIS support for UK startups is one of the areas founders most often get wrong. You need the structure right before you raise, the compliance right after, and clear records if HMRC ever asks. We handle it from planning through to submission, as part of your wider finance operations.
Get the structure right before you raise
This is where most of the risk sits. Get the share structure, timing or eligibility wrong before a round, and you can put investors’ relief at risk, which is the last thing you want when you are trying to close.
We do not treat SEIS/EIS as a one-off form. We look at it as part of your wider finance setup, aligned with your accounts and cap table, from planning and advance assurance through to investor certificates and any future rounds.
Signs you need help

SEIS and EIS questions
SEIS is for the earliest-stage companies and EIS for slightly later raises, with different limits and conditions. We help you use the right scheme at the right time, and handle the eligibility, structure and compliance for both.
Most investors want to see SEIS or EIS advance assurance from HMRC before they commit. We help you get the structure right and secure advance assurance so investors have confidence.
Yes. If you are already using a platform like SeedLegals, we review and support alongside it, making sure the SEIS/EIS side aligns with your accounts, cap table and filings.
We keep clear supporting records throughout, so if HMRC ever asks questions we can respond properly. Getting the structure and records right up front is the best protection.
Before you raise. Most of the risk sits in the structure and timing ahead of the round, so the earlier we are involved, the smoother and safer the raise.
