Why the UK Startup Scene Needs a Fresh Approach
You’ve seen it before. You sign up to pitch your dream. You discover hidden fees. You groan. Traditional sites like Angel Investment Network connect you to investors. Great. But the platform charges commissions. That means less cash in your pocket. And more cost on the investor side. Oriel IPO flips that script with commission-free crowdfunding. No fees. No hidden charges. Just straight-up funding.
In a market worth over £1 billion, tax-efficient schemes like SEIS and EIS are hot. But complexity scares off founders and angels alike. You need clarity. You need simple steps. You need commission-free crowdfunding that pairs you with the right investors. Enter Oriel IPO.
The Traditional Route: Angel Investment Network
Angel Investment Network is well known. They’ve done big deals.
- Established for 15 years.
- Thousands of businesses funded.
- Deep investor pool.
- Executive packages, mail-outs and pitches.
Sounds good, right? It is… until you hit the fees. They take a cut of your raise. You pay for extras. And yes, you get access, but at a cost.
Now imagine a world without fees. A world of commission-free crowdfunding. You keep every penny. Investors invest more. Everyone wins.
The Case for Commission-Free Crowdfunding
What does “commission-free crowdfunding” even mean? Two simple things:
- Zero platform fees on funds raised.
- Full transparency—no hidden costs.
Why does that matter?
- More funds go straight to growth.
- Investors see clearer returns.
- You dodge nasty surprises.
Take SEIS/EIS. These government schemes give you tax relief. But tangled fees can eat into benefits. With commission-free crowdfunding, the tax perks shine. You claim 50% income tax relief. You avoid capital gains tax on profits. No commissions to dilute your gains.
Real-Life Impact
Imagine you raise £100,000 under SEIS. On a traditional platform, a 5% fee means you net £95,000. Then investors face admin charges. Ouch. With commission-free crowdfunding, you hit the full £100,000. Investors keep more rewards. Simple maths. Better outcomes.
