In the words of our Financial Advisers & Industry Partners

“We have found working with Symvan to be a pleasure. Always happy to help, quick to respond and have kept us informed throughout the process of any application or progress with investments.”

Jamie Allan

Chartered Financial Planner, JWA Financial Planning

“It’s apparent Symvan’s focus is on selecting and supporting good quality companies, with a view to delivering positive business outcomes and exits. Fees to clients are kept low by passing these to the companies who ultimately benefit from the investment. Communication is regular and detailed and Symvan makes cumbersome investment processes efficient with their client portal and excellent customer support. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting some of the entrepreneurs and it was wonderful to hear the positive experience extends to the Founders backed by Symvan.”

John Bedford

Director and Chartered Financial Planner, Willis Financial Services

“It is an iron rule of finance – one can only achieve high returns by taking additional risk. Given all of these types of investments are risky by nature, it makes sense to invest with an asset manager such as Symvan, whose experience and selective due diligence process sets them aside from the rest of the market and their specialist investments have truly explosive potential.”

Andrew Elson

Managing Director & Chartered Financial Planner, Berry & Oak Ltd

“With a transparent approach in all their dealings and a highly talented team, Symvan continues to impress me as a technology EIS specialist. They remain steadfast in their mission of nurturing unique businesses with the potential to transform brilliant ideas into viable commercial successes. Symvan combines a welcomed blend of industry expertise with a straightforward, no-nonsense approach, ensuring my clients secure the tax reliefs they seek but also have a genuine long-term opportunity to maximise their investments – they only exit a company holding when they are convinced this will maximise the clients return. I feel assured of a positive outcome for my clients.”

Paul McDevitt

Financial Adviser, McDevitt Consulting

“The team at Symvan go the extra mile in terms of support and delivering good client outcomes, keeping advisers and investors informed at all stages of the investment process and ensuring that ongoing company information is readily available. All in all, a good choice of partner for enterprise investment schemes.”

Mark Hughes

Chartered Financial Planner, AFH Wealth Management

FAQs for Financial Advisers

Common questions from entrepreneurs about funding, investment strategy, and how we work with startups.

  • Who do I contact if I have a query?

    We understand the importance of communication, therefore at the point of investment you will be assigned (if you are not already in contact with someone from the team), a relationship manager, who will be your key point of contact should you have any queries.

    If you have not had a response and or your query is urgent, you can also get in touch via cs@symvancapital.com and a member of the team will come back to you within 24 hours. 

  • Can an additional member of my team access my Adviser Portal account?

    Yes, if you would like another member of staff to have access to your client’s investment and documentation and therefore the rights to view and download information on your behalf, please submit a ‘Request for an admin access’ to cs@symvancapital.com.

    Please ensure you provide the name of the person to whom you are granting access, their email address and the relevant investor name.

  • How do I receive information on my client’s investment?

    Once your client’s subscription has been deployed, both you and your client will be invited to activate the Portal account. 

    From here, you will be able to view and download all communications, certificates, valuations, and company reports. Via your adviser dashboard, you will also be able to review each individual holding at any time.

  • How many companies will my client have in their portfolio?

    The number of portfolio companies under each subscription depends on which Symvan Capital Fund you are considering investing into:  

    • SEIS Technology Fund – target deployment of 5-6 companies. 
    • EIS Technology Fund – target deployment of 10-12 companies.

  • Do Companies have HMRC advance assurance?

    Yes, all portfolio companies will have received S/EIS advance assurance from HMRC prior to receiving investment from the Fund.

  • Have Symvan Capital been reviewed by independent research providers?

    Yes, Symvan is available on and has been reviewed by the following research providers: MICAP and Hardman & Co Research.

  • How long does it take to receive S/EIS3 certificates?

    On average, investors receive their EIS3 certificate within eight weeks following share issuance, although this timeframe is largely dependent on HMRC timelines. HMRC has recently improved its processing times and this can be less than four weeks.

    SEIS3 certificates typically take longer. HMRC rules require companies to spend at least 70% of the SEIS investment received before they can apply for the certificates to be issued.

    Once a certificate has been issued to your client and uploaded to your Portal, you will receive a notification via email.

  • How long does it take for my clients’ subscriptions to be invested in the underlying companies?

    The target deployment depends on which Symvan Capital Fund you are considering advising on: 

    • EIS Technology Fund – The Fund deploys subscriptions regularly and at least on a quarterly basis. We can also cater for speedier deployment if clients have specific needs or for example, a CGT deadline. 
    • SEIS Technology Fund – The Fund will deploy subscriptions over a period of 12-18 months. This fits with our selective approach to choosing the best companies.

  • Do you facilitate adviser fees?

    Yes, if required. Our applications have a section to allow you to specify any authorised initial adviser fee that will be deducted from the gross subscription.

  • How much will my client pay in fees?

    Regardless of whether you are considering advising on the SEIS or EIS Fund, your client will not be charged any initial / entry or ongoing fees. This allows your clients to claim the full amount of tax relief available on their subscription to the Fund. 

    The only fee charged to your client is a performance fee, being 20% of the return above a 100% hurdle, charged only after an aggregate positive return.

    Our fees are charged to the portfolio companies and this differs depending on the Fund. For more details on the Funds’ fee structure, please request a copy of the Information Memorandum(s) below.

  • How do I invest on behalf of my client?

    If you are comfortable and ready to apply for either of the Funds, you can request the application form and supporting investment materials via our online form. Alternatively, you can get in touch with a member of the sales team to discuss a potential investment
