Startup legals at startup prices from the highest rated, fastest growing platform

“FounderCatalyst made it simple for me to apply for HMRC SEIS Advance Assurance and set up my funding round. Using helpful templates provided by FounderCatalyst, I spent a few weeks refining my pitch deck and forecast. Once I was ready, it took less than an hour to get everything online and submitted to HMRC. I hit submit at 11am on a Thursday and by 9am the following Monday, I had the good news from HMRC!”

“FounderCatalyst was introduced to me by a former colleague whilst I was exploring personal investment opportunities in companies already using the FC platform. After a briefing with Sam Simpson, I decided to use the platform for my own start-up Soul Padel. The S/EIS process couldn’t have been easier and simpler to understand and Sam’s hands-on guidance was much appreciated throughout. We then launched our SEIS round with FounderCatalyst and being a first time founder, it was enormously helpful to have the structured guides, articles and the hugely beneficial community of founders to tap into. Not only that but the ecosystem of professionals associated with the FC platform enabled me to seek cost effective advice early. We recently closed our first round after securing investment from a single HNW individual, without the use of costly lawyers or lengthy complex negotiations. I can’t recommend FounderCatalyst highly enough. If you are looking to start your own business and raise investment, you need to start your process with FounderCatalyst. It’s much much cheaper than what you’ll find elsewhere but the best thing is, Sam as founder will be your friend, guide and mentor throughout. Nowhere else gives you that level of service. It’s so good, I’ve also invested in FounderCatalyst platform users because I know their governance and structure is sound and very well put together. It’s more than just a service, it’s a community.”

“I had a fantastic experience with FoundersCatalyst from start to finish (and continue to receive ongoing support). They responded quickly to my initial inquiry, providing excellent guides and transparent information about fees, how the platform works, and what to expect. After following their templates and guidance, we submitted our pitch deck and financial forecast, and Founders Catalyst handled our SEIS application to HMRC. We received approval within three weeks, with no complications. The platform is straightforward to set up, offering term sheets, a data room etc., and a wealth of video/blog content to help. For specific inquiries, their ticketing system is incredibly responsive—usually within a few hours. On top of that, there’s an excellent community on WhatsApp, which includes all the FC staff as well as peers who are friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer even our "stupid questions" throughout the entire funding journey. I can't recommend FoundersCatalyst enough. The founder, Sam, is exceptionally knowledgeable and very generous with his time, supporting every founder to succeed in their funding rounds.”

“From clicking submit on our SEIS & EIS advance assurance 3rd June 2024 to a thumbs up from HMRC in less than 24 hours is wild. Thanks FounderCatalyst!”

“We're a startup that has been 25 years in the making. I was definitely sceptical that we'd get EIS so hats off to you, FounderCatalyst. EIS Condition B...Who knew?! ”

“Extremely competitive and capable platform, it has condensed wisdom built in, and is good value for money. I'd recommend it without hesitation.”

“FounderCatalyst has been absolutely superb in helping me navigate the SEIS/EIS advance assurance process. My business certainly was not vanilla in its application process, but they took the time to brainstorm the best way to conduct our application. The team always act in a very timely manner, with a knowledgeable understanding of the process. Certainly would recommend the FounderCatalyst to any start-up!”

“We were referred to FounderCatalyst and told that they were good, but our advance assurance submission received a positive response from HMRC in 25 hours – that is better than good!”

“FounderCatalyst helped with a set of 13x individual queries from HMRC on a advance assurance submission we originally completed ourselves. They wrote a professional response letter answering the queries and HMRC replied with confirmation of advance assurance in just a few hours.”
