A fresh way to fund startups: meet the new share scheme platform
Investing in early–stage UK startups can feel like a maze, complete with hidden fees, complex tax rules, and endless paperwork. Traditional brokerages rack up commissions, SEIS and EIS relief slips through your fingers, and you’re left wondering if there’s a smoother path.
Enter Oriel IPO, a commission-free share scheme platform designed for SEIS and EIS investments. It offers a curated marketplace, clear educational resources, and a transparent subscription model; meaning founders keep more of their capital and investors benefit from full tax relief.

The pitfalls of traditional brokerages
When you compare brokerages to specialised platforms, the differences leap out:
- Commission structures that chip away at your returns
- Limited SEIS/EIS deal flow, often buried behind tiers
- Complex compliance – you need a solicitor or accountant to untangle it
- Impersonal service, as everyone looks like a number
Hidden fees and administration headaches
Most brokerages advertise “low fees” yet still charge per trade, plus custody charges and platform fees. By the time you’ve navigated their fine print, your budget is leaner than expected. Add regulatory forms and HMRC submissions, and you could spend days on admin alone.
Limited access to SEIS and EIS opportunities
If you’re hunting for startups that qualify for SEIS or EIS, you’ll find a handful of deals on big platforms. Often they are oversubscribed, under-communicated, or require substantial minimum investments. Meanwhile, fresh opportunities with real potential slip through the net.
