Angel Investors

An angel investor is a person or firm that invests in your business, usually from their own funds. An angel investor will provide funding in the form of a loan or for a percentage stake in your business. Many angel investors are successful entrepreneurs themselves and can provide you with both financing and business expertise. To get their support you will need a good business plan and a strong “pitch.”

You can find angel investors by business networking or searching online directories.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is the raising of funds through the collection of small contributions from the general public (known as the crowd) using the Internet and social media.  It can represent an alternative to traditional forms of financing your business.
