Understanding SEIS & EIS Schemes
What is SEIS?
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme helps investors back early-stage startups with:
– Up to 50% Income Tax relief
– Capital Gains Tax exemption on shares held for three years
– Inheritance Tax relief after two years
It’s a lifeline for founders seeking early capital and for investors hunting tax-efficient opportunities.
What is EIS?
The Enterprise Investment Scheme supports slightly more mature startups. You get:
– 30% Income Tax relief
– Capital Gains deferral on reinvested gains
– Loss relief if the company underperforms
In short, EIS broadens your risk appetite and defers key taxes.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Significant tax incentives
- Portfolio diversification into high-growth ventures
- Potential for exemption on future gains

Why You Need a Dedicated Share Scheme Platform
Manual share-registry tasks often mean:
– Late filings
– Untracked dividends
– Confusion over tax deadlines
Traditional registrars (like Computershare Investor Centre) offer generic tools for change of address, bank details or dividend reinvestment. They tick boxes. They don’t guide you through complex SEIS/EIS rules, or link you to new startups under subscription— they charge per transaction and leave you to puzzle over compliance.
With Oriel IPO you get:
– A commission-free marketplace
– A single dashboard for SEIS/EIS
– Curated, vetted startup opportunities
Startups can showcase your startup and connect with investors and keep more of the funds raised. Accountants and advisers gain clear, tax-focused workflows. Investors stay on top of their holdings without buried fees.
Best Practices for Managing SEIS & EIS Shares with Oriel IPO
Keep Your Documentation Up to Date
• Store all share certificates and compliance proof in the Oriel IPO Hub.
• Update corporate resolutions, articles of association or board minutes as soon as they change.
• Use version control to track who did what, when.
Track Dividends and Reinvestments
Regularly review your dividend history to spot patterns. With SEIS you might reinvest using a Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Oriel IPO’s reports show exactly when and how much you’ve got back. No guesses, no delays.
Pro tip: Automate alerts for upcoming dividend payments, so you never miss reinvestment windows. Discover startup opportunities on our platform.
Monitor Compliance and SEIS/EIS Limits
SEIS and EIS have strict funding caps. Keep an eye on:
– Individual investment limits
– Company fundraising thresholds
– Qualifying trades
Oriel IPO flags potential breaches. You get a nudge before HMRC notices.
Use Notifications and Reports
Set up weekly or monthly summaries. You’ll see:
– New share issues
– Dividend payment dates

How Oriel IPO Stands Out Against Traditional Registrars
Computershare Investor Centre helps you change addresses or sign up for dividend reinvestment. It’s reliable for general share services. But for SEIS/EIS specialists, you need more:
• No per-transaction fees.
• Curated deals that meet SEIS/EIS rules.
• Commission-free fundraising for startups.
• Subscription model with transparent pricing.
• In-platform education on tax relief.
You’ll find limited tax guidance on a generic registry. With Oriel IPO management is proactive. You see your share capital, hold certificates, run reports and connect with founders—all from one dashboard.
