Funding-round ready, without the cost pressure.
We’ve worked alongside HMRC on thousands of successful SEIS and EIS applications. Solara exists to make that experience affordable for every startup, not just the ones with legal budgets.
Advance assurance can make or break an early round. It shouldn’t cost more than your first month of runway.
Our team has spent years preparing and submitting SEIS and EIS applications, working directly with HMRC on thousands of them. We’ve seen what gets approved quickly, what gets queried and what gets refused, and 98% of the applications we submit are approved.
We also saw founders paying hundreds of pounds, plus subscriptions, for something that comes down to knowing the rules and presenting the business clearly. So we built a service that does exactly that, does it for you, and charges a fair, fixed fee. If it doesn’t work, you get your money back.
How we work.
Done for you, properly
We don’t hand you a template and a checklist. We write the application, edit your deck and deal with HMRC, because that’s the part founders don’t have time for.
Priced for startups
One-off fees from £149. No subscriptions, no hourly billing, no upsell into a platform you don’t need.
Honest from the start
Our eligibility check gives you a straight answer before you pay. If we don’t think you’ll qualify, we’ll say so.
We put our fee on the line
If HMRC hasn’t approved you within 60 days of us submitting, you get your money back. We only want to be paid for results.
We know what HMRC looks for.
After thousands of applications, the patterns are clear. That knowledge goes into every application we write for you.
- Risk to capitalThe most common reason HMRC pushes back. We know which phrases in a deck cause it and how to fix them.
- Excluded tradesPlenty of businesses that sound excluded aren’t. We know how to describe your trade accurately and clearly.
- Complete, consistent packsMost delays come from missing documents or details that don’t match. Ours go in complete.
- Handling HMRC’s questionsWhen HMRC asks something, we answer quickly and precisely, so your application keeps moving.
Ready when you are.
Run the eligibility check, and if you qualify we’ll take it from there. Approved, or your money back.
