Why Every Angel Needs a Solid SEIS/EIS System
You’ve heard of SEIS and EIS. They’re tax breaks that cut your risk when you back startups. But here’s the thing: in the crowded angel investor marketplace, paperwork piles up.
You juggle term sheets, share certificates, tax returns. One slip and you miss relief. Not fun.
What you need is simple:
– A planner to map deadlines.
– A tracker to log investments.
– A single source of truth.
That’s where templates come in.
The Power of Templates in an Angel Investor Marketplace
In an angel investor marketplace, efficiency translates to more deals and less stress. Templates do three big things:
- Standardise your process
You follow the same steps every time. No more guessing which form goes where. - Save hours
Prefilled columns. Automated reminders. - Stay compliant
SEIS and EIS have strict rules. Templates help you tick every box.
Imagine a spreadsheet that flags upcoming compliance dates. Or a Notion page that links each deal to its tax relief window. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without them.
Common Pain Points for SEIS/EIS Investors
Let’s be honest. Managing SEIS and EIS in an angel investor marketplace is messy. You face:
- Scattered data: Terms in one folder, docs in another.
- Deadline dread: Missed filings cost relief.
- Version chaos: Multiple spreadsheet copies. Which one’s current?
- No audit trail: Hard to prove you did the right thing.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But there’s a fix.
