Oxford-based investment firm, Oriel Investment Partnership Opportunities (Oriel IPO), has recently launched a new online marketplace aimed at driving investment in UK businesses, providing tax benefits for investors, and creating new opportunities for accountants and independent financial advisors (IFAs).
The platform is designed to make it easier for investors to take advantage of the UK Government’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS). These schemes offer significant incentives for investments in UK-based businesses with less than 7 years of trading history, including up to 50% off income tax and zero capital gains tax.
Founded by experienced financial experts, Oriel IPO recognized the underutilization of these schemes by UK businesses and investors, as well as the misconception that they are only available to the wealthy. Their online marketplace aims to simplify the investment process and provide access to these benefits for any UK taxpayer, regardless of their investment size.
The platform brings together all the necessary components for successful investment, including the need for Advance Assurance approval from HMRC for companies to be eligible for the schemes. It also includes guidance for investors to maximize tax reductions and returns. Accountants and IFAs are also a part of the platform’s core membership, providing support and expanding their client base.
With the UK Government recently announcing the extension of the schemes until at least 2035, Oriel IPO’s Enterprise Investment Marketplace is uniquely positioned to drive greater utilization of the schemes, stimulate investment in innovative UK businesses, and mitigate risks through tax reductions for investors.
Some key features of the platform include a membership-based model with no fees for raising or investing, direct connections between entrepreneurs and investors, advanced algorithms to match companies with investors and financial professionals, and heightened security with all listed companies verified by Experian.
Managing Director of Oriel IPO, William Sinclair, shared his thoughts on the platform, stating, “Oriel IPO is our response to the cumbersome investment processes many entrepreneurs and investors face. By emphasizing direct SEIS and EIS connections on our membership-based platform, we are striving to eliminate middlemen and their costly fees. Our goal is to invigorate the UK’s entrepreneurial scene and pave the way for a new era of UK investment.”
