A Fresh Approach to ShareTech Platform Funding
Investing in early-stage businesses should not feel like navigating a maze. Yet for many, traditional sharetech platforms come with hidden fees, unclear processes and endless paperwork. You end up paying for every transaction, losing precious share capital. Sound familiar? There is a better way.
Oriel IPO flips the script. A commission-free sharetech platform designed for the UK market. Startups pay a simple subscription instead of giving up slices of funding. Investors gain straight-through access to curated, tax-efficient opportunities under SEIS and EIS. No nasty surprises. Just clear paths to growth and investment. Curious? Revolutionising Investment Opportunities with a Commission-Free Sharetech Platform
This article digs deep into how Oriel IPO’s model outperforms traditional equity marketplaces. We’ll compare the costs, show you SEIS/EIS benefits and reveal why accountants, advisers, founders and angel investors are switching. Ready to discover smarter funding on a sharetech platform?
The Hidden Costs of Traditional ShareTech Platforms
Most equity crowdfunding sites charge hefty commissions on funds raised. You see line items like:
- Platform fee (often 5–7 per cent).
- Investor fee (another 2 per cent).
- Payment processing and legal admin fees.
Ouch. Each percentage point erodes share capital. Suddenly your £500 k round looks more like £450 k in the bank. As a founder, you feel the pinch. As an investor, your returns shrink without warning.
Here is the kicker. Many of these platforms claim transparency but drop fees into the fine print. You only spot them when the settlement report lands. Even seasoned accountancy teams raise an eyebrow. It is no wonder new startups feel wary about sharetech platform funding.
Competitor Snapshot
A few major names dominate:
- Seedrs: Equity crowdfunder with comprehensive advice; takes up to 7.5 per cent.
- Crowdcube: Transparent but charges 6–8 per cent plus transaction fees.
- InvestingZone: Specialises in SEIS/EIS but levies similar commission rates.
All boast strong brands. Yet all eat into capital raised. What if you could bypass those fees?
Commission-Free Model: Clarity and Control
Oriel IPO’s answer is simple: no commission. Instead, everyone pays a flat subscription fee. That shifts value back to the users. Founders keep more of what they raise. Investors know exactly what they owe.
Key benefits:
- Zero percent commission on funds raised.
- Straightforward membership tiers.
- Enhanced visibility of fee structures.
- More capital preserved for growth and innovation.
You save thousands in fees alone. That means more budget for product development, marketing or hiring your next star engineer. For investors, you avoid hidden deductions from your returns. It could mean the difference between a 20 per cent gain and 15 per cent.

Curated, Tax-Efficient Opportunities under SEIS and EIS
Early-stage risk is real. Government-backed schemes like SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) and EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) offer tax reliefs that mitigate that risk. However, understanding the rules can feel like studying for an exam.
Oriel IPO does the heavy lifting:
- Vetted Startups
Each opportunity meets strict SEIS/EIS eligibility. No wild guesses. - Guided Resources
Step-by-step guides, webinars and FAQs for investors and founders. - Automated Compliance Checks
Early warning if a company falls outside scheme rules.
This blend of curation and education gets you started fast. No second-guessing. No late-stage surprises. Investors can claim 50 per cent income tax relief under SEIS or 30 per cent under EIS, plus capital gains tax exemptions. That level of clarity matters when you weigh five different deals.

Empowering Advisers, Accountants and Tax Pros
Accountants and financial advisers play a pivotal role in early investment rounds. Until now, the complexity of SEIS and EIS meant long calls and thick manuals. Not ideal when clients expect fast answers.
Oriel IPO supports your professional practice:
- Centralised dashboards tracking client investments.
- Ready-made reporting templates for HMRC submissions.
- Educational webinars tailored for accountants.
Whether your client is a founder pitching for funding or an angel investor seeking tax relief, you save time. Confidence soars. No more painstaking cross-checks or hunting down obscure HMRC guidance.
