SEIS & EIS Advance Assurance

Raising investment often depends on giving investors confidence that their funds will qualify for SEIS or EIS tax relief. Advance Assurance is an optional pre-approval process from HMRC that confirms your business is likely to meet SEIS or EIS criteria.
 

Although Advance Assurance is not legally required, most investors prefer businesses that have secured it before committing funds. Without it, investors may be hesitant to proceed, as they will have no guarantee that their tax relief will be granted.
 

At Launch Accounts, we manage the entire Advance Assurance process, ensuring that your application is clear, compliant, and investor-ready.

Our services include:
 

• Eligibility review – Ensuring your business meets SEIS or EIS criteria before applying

• Application preparation – Drafting and submitting all necessary documents to HMRC

• Investor pitch support – Ensuring your Advance Assurance aligns with investor expectations

• Liaising with HMRC – Handling any queries or additional information requests

• Compliance guidance – Helping you stay eligible for SEIS or EIS post-investment
  ​

With HMRC Advance Assurance, you increase investor confidence, speed up the fundraising process, and reduce the risk of funding falling through due to tax relief uncertainty.
