Business Angel Awareness Raising Event
09 February 2010
4pm Registration
to 7.30pm
Winchester Business School
The South East Capital Alliance, the regional business angel network managed by Finance South East, are hosting an event at Winchester Business School in the late afternoon on Tuesday 9th February 2010 to raise awareness of Business Angel investing. This is where high net worth individuals invest in private companies, predominantly in the SME sector.
Business Angel investing is the most significant source of equity for early stage businesses in the UK with between £800m and £1bn being invested in SMEs annually. Recent research carried out by NESTA in collaboration with the BBAA has shown that whilst Angel Investing carries risk, investments in SMEs can bring attractive returns, showing the importance of Angel Investing as a key asset class. This has important implications for high net worth individuals who could consider becoming angel investors as part of their investment portfolio. In light of the current economic climate there has been a significant increase in demand from entrepreneurs seeking access to alternative sources of investment. Therefore it is vital that more business angels are identified to nurture the innovating businesses of tomorrow in order to maintain the future competitiveness of the UK’s economy.
This event is targeted at not only potential business angels in Hampshire but also professionals in the county who may have existing clients who would be interested in learning more about the subject.
