SFC Capital
SEIS/EIS fund manager backing pre-seed and seed-stage UK startups. One of the most active early-stage investors in the UK by deal volume.
General Information
SFC Capital is an FCA-regulated fund manager specialising in pre-seed and seed-stage investments in UK startups. The firm operates SEIS and EIS funds, deploying capital across a large number of early-stage companies each year, making it one of the most active early-stage investors in the UK by deal volume.
SFC Capital targets companies at the very earliest stages — often pre-revenue — and provides small initial cheques alongside the tax benefits of the SEIS and EIS schemes. The firm has backed hundreds of startups since inception.
How does it work?
SFC Capital raises funds from investors seeking SEIS and EIS tax relief, then deploys capital across a diversified portfolio of early-stage UK startups. The fund management team conducts due diligence and selects investments. Investors gain exposure to a portfolio rather than selecting individual companies.
What do they offer?
SFC Capital offers SEIS and EIS fund products with minimum investments typically from £2,500. Investors gain diversified exposure to pre-seed and seed-stage UK companies. Tax certificates are provided for qualifying investors to claim income tax relief.
Who is it for?
SFC Capital is aimed at UK taxpayers who can benefit from SEIS/EIS tax relief and who understand the high-risk nature of early-stage investing. Most portfolio companies will fail; returns depend on a small number of successful exits. Capital is at risk and investments are highly illiquid.
