How we stand out
A personal approach
People invest in people. Entrepreneurs who agree to work with us will have met at least one ABA Director as part of the process, likewise we avoid the “scatter gun” approach adopted by some networks and do our best to ensure that opportunities are presented only to investors we know.
debt finance
If equity finance is not appropriate for your business, you may wish to consider a loan and ABA has strong relationships with a variety of business finance resources including Banks, peer-to-peer platforms, asset finance providers, and invoice discounters.
we are selective
All angel networks will see many hundreds of proposals each year, and ABA is no exception. We therefore have to be highly selective as to which businesses we choose to work with, deploying our own considerable commercial knowledge and skills with over 100 years of combined team experience.
you will meet investors
You will have an opportunity to present to an angel syndicate, be given a decent amount of time for both the pitch and for Q&A, and so engage with active investors.
wide network
Apart from business angels we have connections with a wide range of other sources of funds including crowdfunders, other angel networks, SEIS, EIS and VCT Funds. If our own angels cannot help you we may be able to introduce you to someone else who can help.
post investment contact
We make a point about staying in touch with our investee companies so monitor progress and to be pro-actively to hand should follow on investment be required, as it very often will be.
