Why Tax-Efficient Ecommerce Matters
Let’s be honest. Running an online store is tough. You clash with algorithms, wrestle with logistics, and juggle marketing budgets.
Enter tax-efficient ecommerce—a lifeline for brands keen to funnel more capital into growth, not into the Treasury. In the UK alone, SEIS and EIS schemes have unlocked over £1 billion in funding, all packed with juicy tax breaks. Think:
- 50% upfront Income Tax relief under SEIS
- 30% Income Tax relief via EIS
- Capital Gains Tax exemptions
- Loss relief if things go sideways
But here’s the catch: most ecommerce brands skip these schemes, daunted by paperwork and advisory fees.
The Funding Gap in Ecommerce
Pattern, a leading ecommerce acceleration platform, shines at scaling your traffic, conversion, price strategy and global reach. Their AI-backed tech crunches 46 trillion data points across 60+ marketplaces. Impressive, right? Yet, they focus on operations, not funding. You still need capital to:
- Buy stock in bulk
- Expand into new geographies
- Invest in marketing experiments
That’s where tax-efficient ecommerce funding gaps appear. Operational scale is vital. But without cash, you stall.
Pattern vs Oriel IPO: Operations Meets Funding
Pattern excels at what they do:
- Global marketplace reach
- Patented AI for logistics and pricing
- Human partnerships across 18 locations
Yet:
- No direct funding solutions

Oriel IPO? We’re different. We offer a commission-free, subscription-based investment marketplace. Zero cut on funds raised. Instead, we provide:
- Curated, tax-efficient options via SEIS & EIS
