Commission-Free SEIS & EIS for B2B SaaS Founders: Beyond Traditional Venture Firms

Why EIS SaaS Funding Matters

Starting a B2B SaaS company can feel like climbing Everest—blindfolded. You need cash. You need advice. You need a network. That’s where the UK’s Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) come in. They offer tax relief to lure investors into early-stage startups. For a niche like B2B SaaS, EIS SaaS funding is pure gold.

Here’s the catch: most platforms charge hefty commissions. And the big venture firms? They often demand board seats and rigid term sheets. Founders end up paying more than just fees—losing control and flexibility.

Enter Oriel IPO. A commission-free hub for EIS SaaS funding. No hidden charges. No fancy equity kickers. Just a straightforward way to connect with investors who get your vision.

The Traditional Venture Trap

Traditional VC and growth firms like High Alpha or Fuel Ventures bring expertise. They co-create products. They invest millions. But they also take slices of your equity pie. Let’s unpack:

• High Alpha partners with founders and funds B2B SaaS. They co-invest. They nurture.
• Fuel Ventures is entrepreneur-led. Great for tech startups.
• Crowdcube offers FCA-regulated equity crowdfunding with SEIS/EIS perks. But they charge platform fees.

These models work. But they can feel like you’re renting your own company. You pay for every service, every introduction. And fees stack up.

Tax Relief: The Hidden Weapon

One reason SEIS and EIS are so popular in the UK is tax relief. Investors can claim:

• Up to 50% income tax relief under SEIS.
• Up to 30% income tax relief under EIS.
• Capital Gains Tax (CGT) deferral or exemption on growth.

This makes EIS SaaS funding more attractive. It reduces investor risk. It boosts inbound capital. Your pitch becomes: “Invest in me, save on tax.” Smooth.
