6 Quick Tips to Accelerate Your SEIS Funding in the UK

1. Nail Your Story—Highlight SEIS Tax Perks

You’ve got a brilliant idea. Now sell it.

• Lead with benefits. Spell out how SEIS gives investors 50% income tax relief right up front.
• Use real numbers. “Invest £20k, save £10k now, and dodge capital gains up to £12k.”
• Keep it simple. A crisp infographic beats a wall of text every time.

Investors chase returns and tax relief. Frame your narrative so they see the win-win. And remember: a polished deck looks pro on any commission-free crowdfunding platform.

2. Build a Curated Investor List

Not every investor is your match.

  1. Map out angels who back your sector.
  2. Leverage Oriel IPO’s curated marketplace to filter by SEIS appetite.
  3. Personalise each outreach—name, company, why they’d love your venture.

A targeted approach trumps shotgun emails. When your story lands in a familiar inbox, engagement skyrockets. Plus, our platform’s commission-free crowdfunding model means every penny they commit flows directly to you.

3. Automate Compliance with Smart Tools

Paperwork kills momentum. Use digital tools to stay on top:

  • Document checklists that auto-flag missing items.
  • E-signature integrations for instant SEIS compliance.
  • Automated reminders for deadlines and investor confirmations.

Oriel IPO’s dashboard keeps your documents in one place. No more hunting for forms in email threads. Less admin = more time refining your pitch on a truly commission-free crowdfunding hub.

4. Optimise Your SEIS Docs with Expert Guidance

Tax rules can be murky. Clear them up:

• Grab Oriel IPO’s SEIS Starter Guide.
• Tune webinars on “Common SEIS Pitfalls” led by in-house advisers.
• Peer-review your documents with community feedback.

Education is power. Our curated resources help you sidestep delays. By streamlining your paperwork, you reduce friction and shorten the gap between interest and investment. And since we don’t take a cut of your raise, our only win is seeing you succeed with commission-free crowdfunding.

5. Engage Your Network with High-Value Content

Content does more than inform—it builds trust:

  • Host bite-sized webinars on SEIS basics.
  • Drop quick video demos of your product roadmap.
  • Share blog posts powered by Maggie’s AutoBlog to stay fresh.

Yes, Maggie’s AutoBlog is our AI-driven content engine that churns out SEO-rich updates in seconds. It ensures you never run dry on material to send to your community. Consistent engagement keeps investor confidence high and boosts your chance of a swift, successful commission-free crowdfunding round.

6. Partner with Platforms Offering Commission-Free Crowdfunding

Fees hurt startups. When you raise £100k, you shouldn’t lose £7k to platform commissions. Instead:

  • Choose Oriel IPO’s subscription-based marketplace.
  • Compare your net proceeds on fee-heavy sites vs our model.
  • Showcase your offer to a vetted network of SEIS-ready angels.

Our subscription fee stays fixed, so rapid, multiple raises don’t cost extra. That’s the real power of commission-free crowdfunding—more capital, no nasty surprises.
