Raising capital is a pivotal step for any startup, and securing HMRC’s Advance Assurance for the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) or Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) can significantly enhance your appeal to potential investors. At FSREG, we specialise in guiding startups through the Advance Assurance application process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.​

Why Advance Assurance Matters

Advance Assurance is a statement from HMRC indicating that your proposed share issuance is likely to qualify for SEIS or EIS tax reliefs, based on the information provided. While not mandatory, many investors view this assurance as a prerequisite, as it provides confidence that their investment will be eligible for valuable tax incentives.​
