How do I get SEIS/EIS advance assurance for my Glasgow startup?

Advance assurance is an application to HMRC confirming your company qualifies before you raise investment. It requires detailed information about your company structure, trading activities, and planned use of funds. The SEIS/EIS specialists in our Glasgow network prepare these applications as standard, addressing every qualifying condition upfront to reduce HMRC processing time. Request your free match to start the process.

Can a Glasgow startup lose its SEIS/EIS status?

Yes. Breaching qualifying conditions — such as using funds for non-qualifying purposes, exceeding the gross assets limit, or conducting a non-qualifying trade — can trigger loss of status and clawback of investor tax relief. For fintech, space tech, life sciences, and creative industries ventures in Glasgow, common risks include inadvertent non-qualifying activities and share-structure changes. The specialists in our network build ongoing compliance monitoring into their service.

How much does SEIS/EIS advice cost for Glasgow startups?

SEIS/EIS specialist fees in our Glasgow network typically range from £500 for a basic advance assurance application to £2,000+ for a comprehensive package including investor documentation, compliance statements, and ongoing compliance monitoring. The investment typically pays for itself many times over through increased investor confidence and larger funding rounds. Submit your details to compare quotes from up to three Glasgow specialists.
