Understanding SEIS & EIS

The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) are key initiatives by the UK government to encourage investments in startups and growth-oriented companies. 

Both offer generous tax relief benefits, making them attractive investment vehicles for both growth and fiscal advantages. However, there are several key differences between these two options that investors should know about.

Our Offerings

Our leading SEIS fund and our All-Star EIS follow-on fund are open to our growing network of advisors, many of which are approaching SEIS and EIS for the first time.

SEIS Angel Fund

Our SEIS fund invests in highly innovative businesses across a diverse range of high-growth sectors. Alongside the growth potential of these companies, investors can save up to 50% on income and capital gains tax thanks to SEIS.

All-Star EIS Fund
