We are delighted to announce that Vortex IQ Ltd has received advance assurance for the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) from HMRC. This milestone confirms that Vortex IQ meets the stringent requirements set out by HMRC and enables prospective investors to benefit from the valuable tax reliefs associated with EIS-qualifying investments.
On 23 May 2025, HMRC issued formal confirmation that Vortex IQ has been granted advance assurance under Section 204(1) of the Income Tax Act 2007. This approval, communicated by HMRC’s Venture Capital Reliefs Team, allows us to issue compliance certificates to individual investors, providing them with up to 30 % income tax relief on qualifying EIS subscriptions. It also enables investors to defer capital gains tax liabilities if gains are reinvested in Vortex IQ shares .
At Vortex IQ, we are on a mission to empower millions of e-commerce businesses—big and small—to thrive in an increasingly competitive digital world by creating intelligent digital workers powered by AI. Our platform provides flexible, easy-to-use AI agents that businesses can customise to their unique workflows, automating repetitive, time-consuming tasks and streamlining complex operations.
Vortex IQ is not just a technology provider; we are a partner for business success, committed to accelerating the widespread adoption of AI in e-commerce. We envisage a future where AI-driven digital workers are the backbone of thriving, sustainable commerce, transforming the lives of entrepreneurs and communities everywhere.
Securing EIS status propels us into our next phase of innovation. The funding will accelerate the development of key initiatives that make AI automation accessible to every e-commerce business—regardless of technical expertise:
Imagine a centralised platform where, instead of hiring dozens of specialists, you “manufacture” AI-powered talent on demand. Vortex IQ Agent Hub makes this a reality:
On-Demand Workforce: Deploy these agents as digital workers within your existing apps, websites or back-office tools—no lengthy integrations or hiring delays.
With over 100 pre-integrations today (and hundreds more in the pipeline), Vortex IQ Agent Hub is building a true “factory” for e-commerce talent. Whether you need a dedicated customer-support bot, a marketing automation specialist or a full-stack e-commerce strategist, you can craft and launch your AI team in moments—freeing your human colleagues to focus on strategy, creativity and high-value work.
