EIS and SEIS

Obtaining SEIS and EIS relief is complex and fraught with difficulties. We therefore work closely with your tax advisor to ensure that the investor and the company being invested in satisfies the necessary requirements with regards to qualifying for the relevant relief. It is crucial to make sure that during the process of setting up the structure and carrying out the fundraising, the correct procedures are followed so that investors do not lose the benefit of the relevant relief, for example:

• ensuring that the company’s share capital is appropriate;
• drafting articles of association so that they qualify for the relevant relief, whilst making sure that the relevant parties have suitable protections/restrictions;
• if both SEIS and EIS investments are being offered at the same time, to ensure that they are carried out in the correct order; and
• preventing any associations between the investors and the company prior to the date of the investment, in particular in relation to directorships and loans.
