How do I get SEIS/EIS advance assurance for my Wigan 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 Wigan 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 Wigan 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 health innovation, food production, and logistics tech ventures in Wigan, 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 Wigan startups?

SEIS/EIS specialist fees in our Wigan 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 Wigan specialists.
