Why Early-Stage Funding Is a Jungle
Ever tried reading tax legislation on a Friday night? Exactly. The SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) and EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) promise generous tax reliefs. But the paperwork alone can send you to sleep.
• Complex eligibility checks.
• Layers of HMRC forms.
• Deal structures that confuse even seasoned founders.
That’s where Oriel IPO steps in. Built for founders and angels, our EIS investment training cuts through the jargon. You’ll swap frustration for confidence, and sleepless nights for clear action plans.

Unique Benefits of Our EIS Investment Training
You might ask, why choose Oriel IPO over other platforms like Seedrs or Crowdcube? Good question.
• Commission-free funding
Unlike many equity crowdfunding sites, we charge a transparent subscription fee. No slicing off your hard-won capital.
• Curated, tax-efficient investments
Every opportunity is pre-vetted for SEIS/EIS compatibility. No guesswork.
• Practical, UK-focused content
Our EIS investment training is tailored to the UK’s evolving policies.
• Community & mentorship
Weekly live calls. Office hours. Direct access to active angels.
Oh, and did we mention? Our platform integrates Maggie’s AutoBlog—an AI-powered tool that automatically generates SEO and GEO-targeted blog content. That means you can boost your online visibility while you raise funds. It’s a win–win.
Commission-Free vs Commission-Heavy
Many founders see a glossy crowdfunding pitch and sign up. But then:
- 5% platform fee pops up.
- 2% admin charge.
- A slice for payment processors.
By the end, you’ve lost a chunk of your round. Oriel IPO? You pay a simple, predictable subscription. Keep more of the raise in your pocket.
How Oriel IPO Stands Out from Crowdcube & Seedrs
Sure, Crowdcube and Seedrs have brand recognition. Solid choice for large public raises. But if you’re laser-focused on SEIS/EIS tax relief, they miss some marks:
- Generic advice vs our specialist coaching.
- High fees vs our subscription model.
- Limited mentorship vs weekly live Q&As.
Our EIS investment training goes deeper. You get worksheets, templates and real-time feedback. No canned videos. No off-the-shelf handouts.
Real Success Stories
“Before Oriel IPO, I had no clue SEIS and EIS differed,” says Maya, a fintech founder. “Thanks to the EIS investment training, we closed our £250k round in under a month.”
James, an angel investor, adds: “The Accelerator gave me clarity on compliance. I feel confident backing startups in the UK scheme.”
Is EIS Right for You?
EIS offers up to 30% Income Tax relief and Capital Gains deferral. Sweet. But you need to tick the boxes:
- Company HQ in the UK.
- Less than £15m gross assets.
- Max 250 employees.
- Trade must be qualifying.
Our EIS investment training also covers prospectus requirements and reporting. You’ll learn how to avoid common pit-falls that trip up many first-time raisers.
Beyond the Accelerator: Tools & Services
Learning is great. Execution is better. That’s why Oriel IPO throws in more:
• Maggie’s AutoBlog – Automatically generate blog posts to boost your SEO.
• Resource library – Webinars, guides and case studies.
• Template vault – Pitch decks, term sheets, HMRC forms.
Of course, EIS investment training is just the start. We equip you with tools to scale long after week 7.
