Is Angel Investment the Answer to your Business Funding Impasse?
Has your business reached an impasse in its business funding requirements and would funding by way of angel investment be the answer to all your issues? Does your business have sound business plans mapping out the future path one wants the business to take and all sources of funding from regular avenues have dried up? Has it come to the end of the line for business financing from the banks, friends and/or family and yet there is still some way to go in realizing the potential?
If the answer to all of these questions is in the affirmative the chances are that your business is an early-stage, high-potential, high risk, growth startup company probably involved in but not restricted to software development and/or hardware manufacture, biotech research and development, medical and health related industries then your business could definitely benefit from the funding input of angel investors. Angel investor individuals are high worth and affluent and typically invest their own funds, quite the opposite to venture capitalists who in the main manage the pooled funds of others in a professionally-managed fund where the investor institutions take a cut from the business as to does the fund management.
The profile of angels more often than not is retired executives of industry and commerce or entrepreneurs and they often have more of an ulterior motive than mere financial investment and return. The ulterior motive isn’t underhanded or mysterious; rather the motive is fuelled by a need to mentor another generation of entrepreneurs, keep abreast of current developments in the sector of industry they were involved in or indeed on a more philanthropic and benevolent basis.
Also and in addition to providing much needed and essential startup funding funds, angels can by way of their proven experience and past success often provide valuable management advice and important contacts. Networking is as essential an element of successful marketing and business promotion. Angels tend to be introduced to business entrepreneurs through networks of business plan consultant firms or by angel networks.
A recent Harvard Report has gathered data and evidence which points to startup businesses which make use of angel investment are less likely to fail than companies that rely on other forms of initial financing.
