There are two types of angel investor, which are passive and active. Passive traditionally falls into the Crowd funding arena as a business would rarely get to meet the individuals who are investing. We work with active angel investors – people who will not only invest in the business but will also lend their support. Research from the UK Business Angel Association clearly shows how such support positively impacts on the growth and likely success of a business.

We currently have Angel Groups in the Leeds, Humber, York, Grimsby, Sheffield, Barnsley and Lincoln Regions. There is a considerable pool of both investment and support and our investors are looking for the next ambitious, high-growth business to work with – get in touch to find out more.

We’re really looking forward to taking part in the next Sheffield Chamber Investment Clinic in May. The last clinic was great, we got to meet with some fantastic businesses who were beginning to explore the funding landscape. If you’re looking to access a range of funding solutions and are wanting to find out what is available to you – then come along and have a chat. Book now to secure your spot!

Even though as a company we live within the funding world we still get overwhelmed by the “Financial Jargon” and the complexity of it all, so we are never surprised when businesses approach us with this concern.

What we strive to do is to help you make sense of what is available to you as a business, because each company’s funding journey will be different and needs to be treated as such. We don’t just specialise in Angel Investment, but can provide access to a range of growth funding including Innovation and R&D Grant Funding.

Over the next few months we will be running pitching sessions most weeks at our Angel Groups, which cover the Leeds, Humber, Barnsley, Grimsby, York, Lincoln and Sheffield City Regions. It’s important to know that most Angel Investment comes hand in hand with support and mentoring, which is why the businesses we have worked with lean towards this route of funding.

If you’re ready to begin your funding journey or are wanting to see what options are open to you, just get in touch.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Tuesday was our York pitching session and we had some fantastic businesses pitch for Investment and support – well done everyone, there was brilliant feedback from the Angels!
