Why SEIS/EIS Education Matters for Founders and Investors
Navigating SEIS/EIS education can feel like learning a new language. You know there are huge incentives in the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).

Whether you’re a first-time founder or an angel investor exploring tax-efficient routes, you get curated insights—not just generic blog posts. Ready to dive in?

Understanding SEIS & EIS: Basics and Benefits
Before we deep-dive into how Oriel IPO can power your journey, let’s recap what SEIS and EIS really are—and why SEIS/EIS education is non-negotiable.
What Is SEIS?
- A UK government scheme designed to help seed-stage startups.
- Offers up to 50% Income Tax relief on investments up to £100,000.
- Allows investors to claim back capital gains on shares disposed of within three years.
- Reduces risk, making early-stage funding more appealing.
What Is EIS?
- Targets slightly later-stage, high-growth businesses.
- Income Tax relief of 30% on investments up to £1 million (or £2 million if at least £1 million goes into knowledge-intensive companies).
- Offers deferral of capital gains tax on other assets.
- Carries loss relief if the company underperforms.
Why You Need SEIS/EIS Education
- Schemes evolve—regulations shift every budget cycle.
- Mistakes in paperwork can invalidate reliefs.
- Knowing the pitfalls prevents wasted time and money.
- Clear learning paths turn complexity into confidence.
Oriel IPO’s Commission-Free, Curated Platform
Lots of crowdfunding and angel platforms charge hefty fees. Seedrs takes a percentage of every funding round. Crowdcube tacks on success fees and processing costs. At Oriel IPO, you get a subscription-based, commission-free model. The result? Startups keep more of what they raise, and investors see transparent costs from day one.
Key advantages of Oriel IPO’s approach:
– Commission-free funding—no hidden cuts.
– Rigorous vetting ensures each opportunity truly qualifies for SEIS or EIS relief.
– A centralised dashboard tracks progress and documentation.
– Quicker deal flow for founders; clearer options for investors.
The outcome? You focus on growth and returns, not fee structures. And because we’re not slicing off a chunk of your raise, we can pour resources into expert-led education, guiding you through every SEIS/EIS twist and turn. Gain SEIS/EIS education with Oriel IPO’s expert resources.
Educational Tools: Guides, Webinars, and Mentorship
Oriel IPO’s educational toolkit is designed to hit different learning styles:
- Step-by-Step Guides: Short, actionable PDFs that walk you through eligibility checks and offer templates.
- Live Webinars: Hosted by seasoned finance and legal advisors. Topics range from “Filling in the SEIS Compliance Statement” to “Maximising EIS Loss Relief.”
- Community Forums: An investor-founder network that shares real-world tips and war stories.
- 1:1 Mentoring: Book sessions with executive mentors for deep dives on funding strategy or pitch deck polish.
This multi-channel approach delivers SEIS/EIS education that sticks. You’ll see jargon demystified, legal forms broken down into checklists, and seasoned entrepreneurs sharing what actually worked. It isn’t surface-level content. It’s the nitty-gritty you need to get the relief—and optimise your capital.
Comparing the Competition: Seedrs, Crowdcube, and More
Let’s be honest. Platforms like Seedrs and Crowdcube have brand recognition. They’ve moved millions in funding. But their high fees and open-door approach can mean:
- Less rigorous vetting—riskier deals.
- Fees up to 6% on funds raised plus carry on exits.
- Generic learning resources that only scratch the surface.
- Crowded investor pools where your pitch can vanish.
Oriel IPO flips the script:
– Commission-free: Subscribe to a plan rather than lose a slice of your raise.
– Curated deals: Only pre-vetted, SEIS/EIS-eligible startups.
– Deep education: Focused modules and one-on-one sessions beyond the basics.
– Ongoing support: Regular office hours and community meetups to tackle fresh questions.
It’s not about badmouthing bigger names. It’s about giving you a sharper toolkit. Less noise. Better odds of successful funding and tax relief.
