🎉 Introducing the AI Health Check – a smart, 2-minute step that helps you get your SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance application finalised faster.
Before your submission reaches our SEIS/EIS specialists, the tool runs an initial review of your application and pitch deck to highlight any missing details or inconsistencies.
It’s built on insights from thousands of successful SeedLegals applications, helping you fix issues early and move through the review process faster and with fewer revisions.
You’ll still get the same expert review from our award-winning SEIS/EIS specialists – just with an AI-powered head start.
Securing SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance is a critical step for many UK startups, but pulling together information from your cap table, investment terms and pitch deck takes time – and small inconsistencies can easily slip through.
At SeedLegals, we submit over 1,000 SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance applications every year. On average, our team catches and corrects around nine issues per submission – small things like missing data or unclear language that could cause delays or rejections if sent straight to HMRC.
The AI Health Check does that first round of quality control for you, cutting out delays and helping your application move smoothly through review.
Amina GhaforThe AI Health Check makes the application preparation process even faster. It gives you instant, in-app feedback so you can resolve common issues earlier, before your application reaches our team. That means a smoother experience for you and more time for our experts to focus on the more complex parts of your review.
Product Manager,
The AI Health Check sits right inside your SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance workflow as an optional step.
It runs two types of checks before your application goes to our team:
Automatically reviews your key details – directors, trading dates, share classes, cap table data and more – to make sure everything’s complete and consistent.

Uses AI to flag common SEIS/EIS red flags, like missing information on business activity or use of funds, and gives clear in-app guidance on what to improve.

Once you’ve made your edits, send your application to our team for the full and thorough review – now with fewer corrections and a faster path to HMRC submission.
The AI Health Check is an optional step in the SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance workflow. Your data is never used to train models and is only stored within SeedLegals.
As this feature is in beta, some results may be incomplete or inaccurate. It’s designed to guide you, not replace human review, and does not constitute legal, tax, accounting or financial advice.
We’d love your feedback as we continue to improve it. Just hit the chat bubble in the bottom-right of your screen to talk to the team.
