Empowering Growth with Tax-Efficient, Commission-Free Investment
Every woman founder deserves a fair shot at scaling her business. Yet, the UK’s early-stage funding landscape often comes with hefty fees and administrative hurdles. Cue SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) and EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme): two government-backed programmes offering generous tax reliefs to those who back start-ups. They can be transformative—but only if you can tap them without losing chunks of capital to platform fees.
That’s where Oriel IPO steps in. Imagine a world where your investors keep more of their money in the venture they believe in. With a fully commission-free investment approach, Oriel IPO streams the fundraising journey, bundles education and vetting, and lets you focus on your vision—rather than fee schedules. Ready to see how women entrepreneurs are rewriting funding rules? Start your journey with Revolutionizing growth with commission-free investment.
Why SEIS and EIS Matter for Women Founders
Tax reliefs you can’t ignore
– Up to 50% Income Tax relief on SEIS contributions.
– Income Tax relief rises to 30% under EIS for larger rounds.
– Capital gains exemptions and loss relief in case things don’t go as planned.
Bridging the funding gap
Women still face a notable funding gap compared to male-led businesses. Advisory firms report that female entrepreneurs secure only around 2–3% of total venture capital, despite outperforming mixed teams in long-term returns. SEIS and EIS can narrow that gap—if you can get quick access.
A tailored path for your growth
Oriel IPO’s commission-free model means your investors’ funds go directly into your start-up. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a clean, transparent route to capital that aligns perfectly with SEIS/EIS frameworks.
The Hidden Costs of Traditional Platforms
Many well-known crowdfunding services look attractive on the surface. They advertise vast investor pools and slick interfaces. But peer into the fine print:
• Up to 7–8% success fees on funds raised.
• Ongoing trail commissions, eating into post-close valuations.
• Complex subscription tiers for additional support and analytics.
That means the very relief you’re chasing under SEIS and EIS can be diluted by platform fees. You end up juggling compliance, juggling spreadsheets, and defending your valuation—all while sacrificing a slice of your hard-won capital.
What if there was a simpler way?
How Oriel IPO’s Commission-Free Model Works
- Straightforward subscription
Instead of a percentage cut, Oriel IPO charges a transparent subscription fee. Start-ups know exactly what they’ll pay—no matter the round size. - Curated deal flow
Every company is vetted to meet SEIS/EIS eligibility. Investors gain confidence in quality opportunities; founders avoid time-wasting applications. - Dedicated education
Webinars, guides and live Q&A sessions on tax reliefs and compliance. You and your backers don’t need to be tax experts to seize SEIS/EIS perks. - Direct investor connections
Cut out the middle-layer. Build relationships with angel investors who already understand the value of supporting female-led ventures.
This approach streamlines your fundraising journey, so you can spend less time on paperwork—and more time on product, hiring and market traction.
Comparing Oriel IPO to Leading Competitors
While platforms like Seedrs and Crowdcube dominate headlines, they often rely on commission structures that chip away at investor returns:
Seedrs
– Wide range of start-ups.
– About 7.5% platform fee.
– Robust secondary market.
Crowdcube
– Transparently regulated.
– 6–8% success fees plus legal costs.
– Thousands of campaigns—quality varies.
By contrast, Oriel IPO’s commission-free investment model ensures you don’t compete against opaque fee schedules. Instead, you win on clarity and alignment.
Real-World Success Stories
Consider Ava, founder of a sustainable fashion start-up. She needed £150k under SEIS. Traditional platforms quoted nearly £15k in fees. With Oriel IPO, her subscription fee was under £2k. Investors enjoyed full tax breaks—and Ava reinvested the savings into inventory.
Then there’s Priya, on a biotech venture keen to tap EIS. The Oriel IPO team guided her through Form EIS1, held a Q&A on capital gains exemptions, and matched her with the right angels. She closed her round in just three weeks.
These women swapped complexity for confidence—and thrived.
