Every SEIS application, R&D claim and investor report is handled accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions tech startup founders, seed-stage directors and early-stage CEOs ask about specialist accounting.
What is SEIS advance assurance?
Advance assurance is provisional confirmation from HMRC that your startup qualifies for SEIS tax relief. Most angel investors require it before committing funds. Applications include your business plan and projections.
How do SEIS and EIS differ?
SEIS targets early-stage companies, offering investors 50% income tax relief on up to £250,000 raised. EIS suits more established startups with 30% relief and higher limits. Both extend to 2035.
Can pre-revenue startups claim R&D credits?
Yes. Loss-making startups can claim R&D tax credits as a cash payment from HMRC, providing vital funding before revenue arrives. Qualifying activities include software development, algorithm design and product prototyping.
What are EMI share option schemes?
EMI allows startups to grant tax-efficient share options to key employees. Options are exercised at a pre-agreed price with favourable capital gains treatment. HMRC approval is required before granting.
How is burn rate tracked?
Burn rate measures monthly cash spend against available funding. Tracking it alongside runway shows how many months of funding remain. Accurate forecasting helps founders plan fundraising timing and manage costs.
Can ABM support tech startups nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves tech startups across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to pre-revenue founders, seed-stage companies and scaling businesses.
