FounderCatalyst delivered both - the process was seamless, and it cost less than a tenth of what I was quoted elsewhere.

have to say about us
In their words
A sample of testimonials from founders, advisors and investors who have worked with us.
“The team went above and beyond to ensure our application received SEIS and EIS assurance. They worked very quickly, were always responsive to emails and seemed to work all hours of the days to get it done! When HMRC came back with some questions they helped to answer them in the correct way”
“If you want speed, service and cost efficiency. FC are your guys. - Wow! FC is another level of good. From my first intro call with Sam (he was keen to explain and simplify the process for us) to concluding investment and issuing the SEIS3 certificates to investors, the process has been so intuitive and efficient....and speedy! The human response time on their support is remarkable. I used the 'other' guys for years and this is a whole different experience...and MUCH cheaper. Bravo.”
“Extremely responsive and helpful throughout a couple of raises with technical questions etc. Would definitely recommend - thank you for all your help.”
“Extremely competitive and capable platform, it has condensed wisdom built in, and is good value for money. I'd recommend it without hesitation.”
“The FounderCatalyst platform streamlined our fundraising process, and the team helped us navigate a number of complexities to complete our funding round swiftly. We are now using the amazing ‘agile’ funding feature to top up the previous round over the next few months as and when”
“It was a pleasure working with FounderCatalyst. As of the first meeting, Sam was very involved in the whole process and made it very easy for us to get us investor ready faster than we could have ever imagined. We can only recommend the service and are about to use his services soon again.”
“This was my first time raising funds and using SEIS, and FounderCatalyst made the process so much easier. They helped me secure Advance Assurance and were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Even though they have detailed articles on their site, they patiently answered all my basic questions. Their pricing is also excellent—just a one-time fee, which is great value. The service felt like an Amazon-level experience. I'm happy to say I’ve now raised my first round of funding, and I highly recommend FounderCatalyst to any first-time founder.”
“Such a super-easy to use platform. Opened and closed a round and received the funds within 48-hours! Also, the business owner Sam is knowledgeable and supportive in other areas such as applications for SEIS/ EIS and the cost is lower than any other alternative - I checked!”
“Thanks to Sam and Max for getting us through this complex process in a relatively straightforward and cost-effective way. When we ran into a big hiccup they were there for us and and had the adaptability to help get us over the line.”
