We’ve got new products on the horizon and we’ve made several updates to our platform. Here’s a roundup of what we’ve been up to in November. ## Streamlined Advance Assurance HMRC have introduced an online form and portal to submit [Advance Assurance](https://seedlegals.com/start/seis-eis/) applications. That now means our dedicated SEIS and EIS experts can handle your Advance Assurance application process with HMRC from end-to-end. We have a 98% AA application success rate compared to a 62% industry average (according to HMRC) which means you can quickly get on the road to fundraising. ## Improved EMI valuations Speaking of HMRC, we’ve improved our [EMI valuation](https://seedlegals.com/grow/share-options-scheme/) methodology to make your report even more bespoke and detailed, maximising your discount and chance of success with HMRC. You can select the most relevant factors that may influence a discount on the price per share, as well as a personalised reason why each discount is applied. If you started a valuation before the 4th of November and want to upgrade, get in touch on the chat. ## Series A+ legal advisory service Gearing up to your Series A or B and need legal advice? We now offer expert legal advice from an experienced, qualified venture capital lawyer to complement our easy-to-use platform. If you’re getting ready for a VC-led Series A+ and are looking to go to a law firm, [get in touch with us for a confidential chat](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6d0c091b041e021f142d1e08080901080a0c011e430e0200) . ## Upload signatures Writing your signature on your desktop or laptop can be tricky. But you don’t need to worry about that with SeedLegals. You can now upload a signature rather than only being able to use a mouse or trackpad to draw it – so no more scribbles. ## Have your say Is there something you think we can do better? [Email us](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#aec6cbc2c2c1eeddcbcbcac2cbc9cfc2dd91dddbccc4cbcdda93e8cbcbcacccfcdc58b9c9e838b9c9efdcbcbcae2cbc9cfc2dd8b9c9eccc2c1c9) your ideas.
