A guide to Financing a Business with Angel Investment

Finding investment to start a small business can be frustrating and time-consuming, but it is particularly difficult when a new business has no trading history, little savings, poor credit ratings or no security.

Many start ups and small business owners turn to business angel investors, but they need a convincing proposal and tenacity to secure a deal that works for them as well as the investors.

Business angel funding is a source of equity finance, which means that business angels invest their own money into a private company in return for a share of its ownership. Therefore, this type of finance is not available to firms that operate as sole traders or partnerships.

This factsheet outlines what business angels look for in a potential investment and how to approach them. It also provides hints and tips as well as sources of further information.
