I would strongly recommend ABA to any striving businesses looking for investment. ”

“Advantage Business Angels have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I was seriously impressed with their quick decision making process and the fact that their members are willing to go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend any business looking to gain funding from them.”

“We were delighted to be put in contact with ABA at the start of our second investment round. They put in a considerable amount of time and effort to understand our business and plans and then carefully selected the most appropriate investor communities for us to pitch to. The result was a rapid allocation take up from highly experienced syndicate investors.
They are savvy, experienced and well connected and I would strongly recommend ABA to others.”
— Bill Webb, CEO at iSpaniel
“When looking to get a new business through start up and into scale up it is key to work with investors who understand this part of the growth cycle and “get” the business idea and the team as well as looking for good returns. In ABA we found such a network. We have ambitious plans for Beacon and the support that we received from ABA as we raised our seed funding and started the growth process has been superb. I cannot recommend them more highly.”
— Nigel Bridges, Managing Director at Beacon
“Advantage Business Angels have been the ideal access-to-funding partner. The pitch process was clear and simple. The due diligence is efficient and did not distract from running the business. ABA were able to find us 12 investors and, even with the complication of raising funds via SEIS and EIS, all went smoothly. Post investment we've benefited from one Angel becoming our Chairman, not as a condition of investment, but because of his industry experience. I would fully recommend ABA if you are seeking an angel investment.”
— Jonathon Jackson, CEO at Previsico
“ABA provided us with a fantastic opportunity to present our business and investment offering to an experienced, engaged and enthused group of private investors. John Rankin of ABA has been a hugely positive and supportive contact and because of his valuable assistance, I would definitely recommend other companies who are looking to raise investment from business angels to get in touch with ABA.”
— Loretta King, Marketing & Comms Director at Alert Technology Ltd
“Our raise from the Advantage Business Angels network was successful thanks to the time and thought that went in to planning the investment pitch event, which followed a detailed review of our deck and the opportunity ahead of the session. The format of their pitching event is perfect. It’s a good amount of time to get stuck into the opportunity at a level of detail that works for entrepreneur and investor. We had soft-commitments over the lunch that followed and the first funds were closed within just a few weeks. I’d heartily recommend them to seed-stage entrepreneurs looking to raise the first capital beyond their immediate friends and family.”
— Charles Radclyffe, CEO at Ethics Grade
