Business Angels
Business angels are wealthy individuals who invest in high
growth businesses in return for equity. Some invest on their
own, others invest as part of a consortium. They will
invest individually anything from £5,000 to £500,000 and will
contribute to bigger investment deals.
Essentially, business angels invest based on their belief in the
ability of the people involved to grow a profitable
business. They will often make their skills and contacts
available to the company, although many expect to monitor progress
and may seek involvement in significant decisions.
The NWDA provides relevant businesses and
individuals seeking finance with access to business
angels via Northwest Business Angels, a network of private
individuals in the region seeking to invest in Northwest
businesses. Northwest Business Angels offers a dedicated service to
businesses and investors alike.
