Deepbridge Capital Webinar: An Introduction to the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)
In an environment where tax efficiency is an increasingly important consideration for appropriate investors, the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) continues to play a significant role in supporting the UK’s innovation ecosystem. Recognised as one of the most generous early‑stage investment incentive schemes globally, SEIS is designed to stimulate economic growth while helping investors support emerging UK companies within a tax‑advantaged framework.
This introductory webinar will provide a clear, structured overview of SEIS – how it works, the reliefs available, how investors can claim those reliefs, and key considerations for those advising clients or exploring opportunities in the early‑stage investment landscape. The session will also introduce the UK Innovation Seed Fund, managed by Deepbridge Capital, which focuses on supporting early‑stage scientific and technology‑driven companies across the UK.
