Advanced Assurance Process
SeedLegals delivered brilliant customer service, a simple to use and efficient digital platform for submitting all our advanced assurance documentation, a fast and thorough internal review process ahead of sending to HMRC and their price point was a quarter of the other company I spoke with. The end to end process was very smooth. Our application was approved first time and they were proactive in making sure we hit our short deadline. Namely, our account manager [sensitive content hidden], really support any questions I had and when we sent an SOS the subject matter expert [sensitive content hidden] was happy to jump on a call to make sure we had all the clarity we needed. I really enjoyed working with them, and would recommend the service to any other Founders.
CONSSome of the feedback SeedLegals gave us in written format was slightly confusing. We ended up jumping on a call to discuss with the subject matter expert and it was incredibly helpful. To have a call with this person sooner, would have definitely helped my understanding and avoided some mistakes. Also it would have been great to receive a template of the cover letter sooner and an example application to read before we pulled together ours - this was the first Advanced Assurance process we had done, so all actual examples are so helpful. Also when I tried to call the office outside of our scheduled time, it was harder to reach my contact directly.
Reason for choosing SeedLegals
Price. As an early stage startup every penny counts. SeedLegals were a quarter of the price of the other specialist we spoke with.

Amazing platform for any startup - fast, accurate and easy to use!
10/10 it has been a seamless process. SeedLegals has saved me loads of time and money, making navigating the legals so easy. Every single person I've had contact with is knowledgeable and helpful.
PROSVery easy to set up, fantastic UX. The support from staff has been exceptional. SeedLegals have thought of everything, so I don't have to and can focus on growing my business. The blog posts and videos are very informative and free of jargon. This is my first funding round so the expertise and support from SeedLegals has been invaluable.
CONSNothing so far. Only limitation I've found was in the deal terms - my [sensitive content] and I have different salaries (he's starting on £0 for first year) so we'd want the option to input individual warranties, not applied to both founders.
Reason for choosing SeedLegals
[sensitive content] was a speaker on an Accelerator I did recently (Hotbed Overrules) and his advice was incredibly clear and helpful. Since then I've seen and read numerous blogs from SeedLegals so working with them was a no brainer for me. Everyone speaks so highly of SeedLegals and their reviews are amazing so it was an easy choice.

My Seedlegals Experience
The biggest benefit has been the direct support from Seedlegals staff. The team that support with S-EIS application have been fantastic and on hand every step of the way and this type of support has been across the various facets of the capital raise experience.
PROSI like the interface and having access to more things than I knew that I needed.
CONSIt can be difficult to intuitively know how to navigate the platform and understand what you need to do unless you have support of seedlegals staff.

Helping to close our first round under a tight deadline
We were looking to close an investment round within a week and a half. Our lawyer we had been working with was unable to complete the funding round with us due to unforeseen circumstances. Within an hour I was set up on SeedLegals and working with [sensitive content hidden] to ensure we had everything in place in order to meet the deadline. This was our first investment round and therefore we were cautious and wanting to ensure that we were not committing to anything that may hinder the company in the future. SeedLegals explained the overall process and aided in last minute negotiations of terms.
PROSWorking to a very tight deadline for our first funding round our point of contact, [sensitive content hidden], was able to answer all of my questions and put at ease concerns, explain certain terms and the implications of them. He was also able to provide insight on what was industry norm.
CONSSome lack of flexibility in being able to add free text in certain sections.

Fantastic platform
The SEIS/EIS pre-approval and share options support services have both been excellent. Both services have been excellent - easy to use and simple user interface. However the real added value is in the access to their experts for specific advice - huge shout out to [sensitive content hidden] who was exceptional in supporting our SEIS/EIS pre-approval and [sensitive content hidden] for his overall advice on our current seed round.
PROSEasy well designed portal. As well as the core services we have had excellent support from the portal/ experts on successfully achieving SEIS pre-approval and putting in place a professional options scheme. The ongoing webinars are also first rate and have really helped enhance my knowledge across various important topics.
CONSOnly minor point is that we are an IOM company and all the template doc are under UK law. Appreciate IOM is a small market so probably not viable but if library docs were ever reviewed and made available for IOM law that would be even better (hasnt been a problem with SEIS pre approval or Options but menat we could use the fundraising docs).

Super happy with SeedLegals
Amazing!
PROSI recently used SeedLegals to help me get my SEIS in time and to answer challenging HMRC questions. They were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best outcome. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They answered all of my questions promptly and provided detailed guidance throughout the entire process. I highly recommend SeedLegals if you're looking for a reliable and experienced team to help with your SEIS.
CONSwas thoroughly impressed with the software and services provided by SeedLegals. Everything was of the highest quality and exceeded my expectations. I found no cons whatsoever - the team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and responsive, and the software was intuitive and easy to use. I'm highly satisfied with my experience and would recommend SeedLegals to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced team to help with their SEIS.

Successful SEIS Advanced Assurance application
Very good.
PROSQuick responses from customer support and proper advice.
CONSSome times incosistent responses among different representatives from customer support. Some avoid saying more about tax related questions while others do say more, which is helpful. It looks like there's always someone knowing more than the rest, and it would be good to always talk to that person.I would like to have more resources to understand how companies should proceed with a Delaware flip and the equity related matters. The new portal for investors seems to me to be placing Seedlegals in a position of conflict of interest. Can we still be claiming that seedlegals are our lawyers, if they are also our investor's lawyers?
Reason for choosing SeedLegals
Nicely written blogs.

Awesome way to do funding online
Really very good. I've done lots of funding deals over my career and SeedLegals really does make it all so much simpler and smoother. I really can't say enough about the team. And the price is right too, so what more could you want.
PROSSeedLegals makes the process super simple, whichever flavour of funding you're doing. But I'd say that the platform is even eclipsed by the superb team that helps you through the deal. Couldn't be more positive about them.
CONSNo real cons. A niggle on usability here and there but if you're in the system regularly you get used to them and the very responsive and knowledgeable team is there to help so it's all good.

Excellent to date. The teams always responds swiftly, and will jump on a call to ensure exmplanations are understood.

The hands on support with the SEIS Advance Assurance application. [sensitive content hidden] support was resourceful as we got the application approved by HMRC in less than a week.
CONSThe SEIS application portal on SeedLegals could use a bit more information on what is required in each section so as to avoid long chain of emails with the representatives to confirm minor details. That will save time for both parties.
