Being a business angel
Being a ‘business angel’
Everything you wanted to know – and a lot more
Minerva is stripping away the mystique to tell you about being a successful ‘business angel’. Because of support from Advantage West Midlands these events are free to participants.
In an informal and pressure-free environment you can learn what being a business angel really involves, decide whether it is right for you, and discover how best to go about it. The place of angel investment in a balanced investment portfolio and the generous tax breaks will also be explained.
You will meet like-minded people and can get answers to all your questions (about company valuations and investor syndicates, for example). You can spend time with business angels, the director of Minerva Business Angel Network, a tax expert and professionals with experience in the creation and expansion of high potential businesses.
In the final segment of the Workshop you will have an opportunity to listen to presentations by companies actively seeking investment.
If you are a new ‘business angel’, or are considering it, seize this opportunity! Contact us right now for details and to reserve one of the free places.
Feedback from our previous Workshops has been universally positive. For example:
"This was a well organised event that provided real-life, not purely theoretical, information about the investment process in small businesses. Presentations from the major players in the process - the investor, the lawyer and the accountant - provided valuable insight for any business owner looking for equity investment and for investors looking to invest. Two well delivered pitches from entrepreneurs also kept any investors attentive."
"As a new Investor Member of Minerva, this was a really useful event. It provided real life practical examples explaining the opportunities and pitfalls and gave me the essentials of what I need to know to start investing. It was also a great opportunity for networking - I have already teamed up with one fellow investor."
