Where do I go to get finance for my business?

Angel Startups can help you to identify a variety of sources that will assist you to find finance for your business, based on your particular circumstances. In the section below, we have identified different sources of funding options that are available to you and your business. We work with many different types of people and organisations to help you find the correct solution to suit your business circumstances.

The first rule of business is....Cash flow is king!!!. Every business needs finance and there are lots of different types of finance available. Bank Finance is where banks lend you money and you pay back the money with interest over a period of time. Equity finance can be raised by external investors; Venture Capitalists are people or companies willing to exchange equity in their company in return for money for start-up businesses or already established businesses wishing to expand. Angel Investors or Business Angels generally want less control of your business with a slower return on their investment. 

How can I promote my new business?

Promoting your new business is one of the key hurdles to a successful business. If your customer base does not know you exist, then they will not know of your product or services. An hour a day spent on promotion will yield tangible and positive results. Angel Startups can help you produce a comprehensive marketing strategy, with fixed costs and tangible results. Articles and press releases are all good promotion tools and you can find tips on how to write them and where to send them on the internet. We can help you to promote your web presence and other forms of business promotion
