id=\"Raising_money_for_startups_and_SMEs_in_the_UK\"><\/span><strong>Raising money for startups and SMEs in the UK<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to raise money for your startup from outside investors in the UK, they may qualify for substantial tax reliefs on their investment through either the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) or the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), both of which are HMRC tax reliefs designed to encourage venture investment in earlier stage UK companies.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_SEIS_and_EIS_schemes\"><\/span><strong>What are the SEIS and EIS schemes?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Both schemes are government-backed venture capital schemes designed to help small or medium-sized companies and social enterprises grow by attracting investment. The schemes offer various tax efficient benefits to investors in return for investment in startups and SMEs in the UK. Thus, bolstering economic growth in the UK by promoting new enterprise and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEIS\"><\/span><strong>SEIS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The SEIS is designed for very early stage startups looking for seed investment. With a maximum cap of \u00a3150,000, this is really designed for \u201cfriends and family\u201d rounds. The requirements are set out below.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EIS\"><\/span><strong>EIS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The EIS is the choice for larger investments, and bigger companies &#8211; operating for up to 7 years and raising up to \u00a312m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(If your company is classed as \u2018knowledge intensive\u2019, which means it is heavily involved in [expensive] research and development work, you may qualify for longer time limits (up to 10 years) and be able to raise more money under this scheme (up to \u00a320m).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_kinds_of_investment_can_you_offer\"><\/span><strong>What kinds of investment can you offer?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The investment class is restricted to <strong>ordinary share investments<\/strong> only. You will need to be able to demonstrate that the investment carries a risk that the investor will lose capital and that you\u2019re not giving any priority to these investors over other shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you won\u2019t be able to offer your SEIS or EIS investors convertible notes, loan notes, or preference shares, but it doesn\u2019t stop you from offering these to overseas investors in your round, or to investors that elect not to use the tax reliefs (because they have already made use of them for example). The investment limits only apply to investments made by investors who are claiming a tax relief. The company benefits because investors will be more likely to invest and will take tax benefits into account when planning their potential gains.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Criteria_for_your_startup_to_qualify_for_SEIS_or_EIS\"><\/span><strong>Criteria for your startup to qualify for SEIS or EIS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Before you can offer investors a term sheet that is SEIS or EIS-ready, you\u2019ll need to check that your company qualifies for one or both of the schemes. Qualification is based around how early-stage you are and how much you\u2019ve already raised. The table below summarises the position under both schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 294px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 39px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 39px;\"><strong>SEIS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 39px;\"><strong>EIS<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 60px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 60px;\">Maximum raise of \u00a3150,000.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 60px;\">Maximum raise of \u00a35m in any tax year.

You can take advantage of this to get a provisional indication from HMRC that your business is eligible to apply for tax relief for your investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full eligibility will only be granted by HMRC (which of course introduces the risk to your investor that they may not qualify and they will not get their relief).&nbsp; It&#8217;s essential that you avoid this chicken and egg by getting the HMRC Advance Assurance before your round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this yourself, using the application form <a href=\"https:\/\/public-online.hmrc.gov.uk\/lc\/content\/xfaforms\/profiles\/forms.html?contentRoot=repository:\/\/\/Applications\/CorporationTax\/1.0\/VCSAA&amp;template=VCSAA.xdp\">here<\/a> or more simply and quickly, the Zegal expert team can do this for you. We have significant experience in dealing with HMRC and while it generally takes HMRC 6-8 weeks to process Advance Assurance applications, we find that we can usually do this more quickly and certainly more painlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to handle the application for Advance Assurance yourselves; you will need to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Details of the fundraise and the latest draft of any documents you use to explain your proposal to potential investors;<\/li><li><strong>The name and address of any prospective investors <\/strong>(<strong>the single most important step<\/strong>);<\/li><li>Your business plan and financials;<\/li><li>If you are a group, which companies in the group will use the investment;<\/li><li>Details of all trading and activities to be carried out, and how much you expect to spend on each activity;<\/li><li>A list of the amounts, dates and venture capital schemes under which you\u2019ve previously received an investment;&nbsp;<\/li><li>An up to date copy of the memorandum and articles of association and details of any changes you expect to make;<\/li><li>A copy of the register of members from the date you apply for advance assurance;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Details of any other agreements between the company and the shareholders;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_else_do_your_investors_need_to_know\"><\/span><strong>What else do your investors need to know?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In addition to your company hitting the qualification criteria, there are also limits on how much a UK taxpayer can invest each year to get their maximum relief.&nbsp; The table below summarises the position for investors looking to invest in your company.
