Business angels are high net worth, private, individuals who often have a strong commercial experience and are seeking investment opportunities in private companies. In return for a shareholding in the company, the business angel would often seek a position on the board of directors.

What does the “business angel” offer?
A business angel will provide you with an agreed amount of capital in exchange for an equity stake within your company.
