What is EIS Finder?

We provide EIS and SEIS educational information and a way to request contact from our team.

Does tax relief protect my investment?

No. EIS and SEIS shares can lose all of their value. Tax relief is conditional and may be unavailable or withdrawn. It does not make an investment safe.

Can I sell after three years?

The minimum tax holding period is not an exit date. Unlisted shares may be difficult or impossible to sell and can remain illiquid for many years.

Does HMRC approve the investment?

Advance assurance concerns certain scheme conditions based on supplied information. It does not endorse the business, guarantee a return or confirm every investor’s tax eligibility.

How do I access a guide?

Choose a guide in the download centre and complete the short form. Your download becomes available immediately after a successful submission. You do not need to opt into marketing.

Where can I see company opportunities?

Company-specific materials are not published on this website. Submit a private-access request for the team to review. A request does not automatically qualify you as an investor or unlock investment materials.

Do you provide personal financial advice?

The site’s guides and tools provide general information. They do not determine suitability or provide personal investment or tax advice. Use an independent adviser for advice about your circumstances.

What happens after I enquire?

Your details and question are stored for the EIS Finder team to review. Downloads are available immediately. Sending an enquiry is not an investment application or payment instruction.

Does selecting an investor category give me access?

No. It records the category you believe may apply as part of an enquiry. The team reviews your request and explains any further statements or checks needed. No investment materials are automatically unlocked.

Is the calculator a forecast?

No. It illustrates specified tax assumptions, including a total-loss scenario. It does not establish eligibility, predict returns or account for every charge and circumstance.

What should I send with an enquiry?

Your contact details and a short explanation of your question are enough to start. Please do not upload bank statements, passports, passwords or investment payments.

Can I browse the learning hub without requesting access?

Yes. The educational guides, glossary and scheme explanations can be explored without completing an investor-category enquiry.
