Why SEIS and EIS Matter for Professionals
Generous Tax Reliefs Tailored for Growth
- Income Tax Relief: Up to 50% off qualifying SEIS investments and 30% for EIS against your income tax.
- Capital Gains Exemption: No CGT on gains from shares held over three years.
- Loss Relief: Offset investment losses against income tax.
These perks aren’t just perks. They transform the risk-reward profile of early-stage startups. For a high-earner in a top tax bracket, SEIS/EIS can mean thousands saved each year.
Diversification Without the Usual Headaches
Most professionals stick to pensions or ISAs. They’re great, but they cap growth potential. With SEIS and EIS you:
– Access niche sectors (deep tech, medtech).
– Spread £200k+ per tax year into startups.
– Blend traditional and alternative assets.
It’s not rocket science—just a smarter way to spread your bets.

Remember: the goal is not just high returns but keep-what-you-earn returns.
