Become an Angel
You can act as an individual or in concert with others as a group. The Central England Business Angels website enables a Business Angel to do both.
Angel investor groups vary in structure, from formal to informal. Formal groups follow strict participation requirements that guide members' minimum investment activity and event attendance. Some groups pool members' capital to make investments on the group's behalf, while others allow individual members to invest in specific deals of interest.
A typical Angel group's investment ranges widely from £50,000 to £500,000 per deal, depending on how many group members are interested in the deal.
While no two Angel groups operate exactly alike, most maintain a local or regional geographic focus in order to maximize members' ability to actively engage in the growth of their investments. These groups organize regular monthly meetings for members to hear presentations from Central England Business Angels selected companies.
If the group (or members of the group) decides to proceed, interested members commonly collaborate on due diligence and deal negotiation. Based on the group's structure, investments are either made directly by individual members, or by the group as a whole. Most groups apply standard terms to their investments, with some flexibility to negotiate.
Angels typically invest between £10,000 and £100,000 per transaction individually, and up to £500,000 as a group. On average, angels are patient, with an average term for holding an investment of between five and seven years. For the risk and added value they provide, angels seek returns of at least ten times their investment.
Central England Business Angels work closely with local investment funds and other sources of finance to package together the necessary monies for the Entrepreneur's/SME's needs. Central England Business Angels also prepare information which is helpful to the Business Angel in making his or her decision, thereby easing the investment process.
