How do the Enterprise Investment Scheme and the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme ACTUALLY work? And what's advance assurance? This free guide will help you understand the application process and how Vestd can help.
The platform itself allows you to manage all aspects of share and option management concisely in one place. The automations and integrations save you time. But while the platform is great, it is the team that makes Vestd stand out. From pre-sales to onboarding and the ever-helpful support team - not only do they support on the platform but provide excellent knowledge in this area.

Great platform. The team always provide brilliant support. I would definitely recommend using Vestd to anyone who needs to set up and administer an EMI scheme.

Straight forward and structured approach - so good for founders and also FD/CFO/advisor who is looking to get share capital and share option schemes in place.

A fantastic platform. The price is fixed. The customer support is fantastic and readily available. They have held our hand right through the whole process.

I love Vestd and I wish I had found it sooner. It makes the whole process of issuing shares whether they're growth shares or ordinary shares incredibly simple.

Amazing shift from Excel to Vestd. The support team were amazing and did a great job of completing our setup and we have been very pleased at being able to better manage our governance over time.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme?
With SEIS, investors can buy shares in eligible UK startups and, in return, get some pretty generous tax breaks, making it a lot more appealing to back early-stage companies, which are inherently riskier.

What is the Enterprise Investment Scheme?
EIS is designed to encourage investment in ambitious UK companies that are a bit more developed than those under SEIS, but still need capital to scale.
-
What is advance assurance?
Advance assurance is a kind of pre-approval from HMRC that UK companies can apply for before raising investment under the SEIS or EIS schemes.
It's not a 100% guarantee, but it gives investors confidence that their tax relief should be valid if they invest.
