Why SEIS/EIS Due Diligence Feels Like a Minefield
Getting SEIS or EIS right involves layers of checks:
- Complex eligibility criteria covering age of the company, trading activities and share structures
- Financial health reviews to ensure a startup’s runway makes sense
- Legal documentation, from articles of association to share capital breakdowns
- Formal HMRC compliance steps, with continuous updates on scheme rules
Most platforms simply host investment pitches. They don’t dig into every detail. You end up chasing lawyers or tax advisers. That costs time and money. And if you miss something, your tax relief could vanish.
Oriel IPO’s Vetted Startup Investment Workflow
Oriel IPO simplifies the process. They’ve built a workflow that treats due diligence as an asset, not an obstacle.
Rigorous Eligibility Screening
First, every startup must meet SEIS/EIS criteria:
- Company formation date and trading history
- Qualifying trades and activities
- Employee and asset thresholds
Oriel IPO automates this initial filter. That cuts out 80% of non-compliant pitches up front.
Financial Health Checks
Next, a focused financial review:
- Revenue and burn-rate analysis
- Cashflow projections
- Cap table sanity checks
You see real numbers, not optimistic spreadsheets. And it’s delivered in plain language, so you don’t need an accounting degree.
Compliance and Tax Incentive Validation
Then comes the heavy lifting:
- HMRC form readiness (SEIS1, EIS1)
- Verification of share allotments and investor qualifications
- Cross-referencing with HMRC guidance
No more surprises at claim time. Your relief stays intact. Discover how startup investment experts can streamline your due diligence
Investor-Friendly Summaries
Finally, you receive a concise report:
- Key metrics at a glance
- Highlighted risks and mitigations
- Next-step recommendations
All in a clear dashboard, accessible 24/7.
