Seisly Advisers
Most SEIS and EIS advance assurance applications never need an adviser: the £99 done-for-you application covers the whole process. For the cases that do, Seisly matches you to a specialist firm, after a free diagnostic shows exactly where your company stands.
Takes about five minutes. No account, no email sign-up.
How the panel works
The panel is reached from your diagnostic report, so a firm sees your situation before it responds.
Answer a few questions about your company. You get a structured diagnostic of where you stand against every HMRC SEIS and EIS condition. Free, instant, no account.
It shows your scheme, your route, and any complexity flags. Most founders are clear to go straight to the £99 done-for-you application.
If your case needs a specialist, your report routes you to the panel. Pick a firm whose specialism fits and send a request. Your diagnostic context goes with it.
They see your diagnostic context and accept or decline within 5 working days. If you engage them, you deal with the firm directly on their own terms.
Who is on the panel
The panel covers the specialisms a tax-advantaged raise can need. We match you to a firm whose discipline fits your case.
Share rights and class structure, group and holding-company arrangements, and the legal side of getting investor-ready.
Qualifying-trade and excluded-activity judgement calls, Knowledge Intensive Company status, and the finer points of the reliefs.
Gross-asset and size tests, financial forecasts, and the numbers HMRC will look at.
Funding strategy, valuation, and running a round from end to end.
When you might need a specialist
The £99 done-for-you application handles the straightforward case from end to end. The panel is here for when yours is not straightforward, for example:
Most founders never need one – the panel is here for when you do.
No. For most founders the £99 done-for-you application covers the whole advance assurance process. The panel is for cases that genuinely need a human adviser – an unusual structure, an excluded-activity judgement call, or an investor who wants sign-off from a recognised firm.
The diagnostic produces a structured report on where your company stands against HMRC's conditions. Sending that with your request means a firm sees your situation up front and can give you a faster, more accurate answer than starting from a blank page.
The panel covers the disciplines a tax-advantaged raise can call on: SEIS and EIS solicitors, tax advisers, accountants, and corporate finance advisers. When you send a request we match you to a firm whose specialism fits your case, and you choose whether to engage them.
When you send a request, the firm sees a snapshot of your diagnostic – the scheme and route you're pursuing, how you scored against each HMRC condition, and any complexity flags – along with your name, email, company and a short note. They do not see your raw questionnaire answers or other personal data.
Running the diagnostic and sending a request to the panel is free. If you go on to engage a firm, you deal with them directly and they set their own fees. Seisly receives a referral fee from the firm, not from you.
