Our experience of working with Advantage Business Angels has been both excellent and a complete success delivering us £85K.

From the very beginning John Rankin and his team took the time to robustly appraise our market proposition and expertly advise us on how to best shape it for the angels that belong to this network.

The process has been a delight, the team have helped us grow as well as secure us investment, and the angels that have invested have been fantastic assets to our company. I would highly recommend working with Advantage Business Angels.

Chris Knight CEO VEN technologies Ltd

“Incumbency.AI exists today because of ABA. Without its partnership and funding, the project would likely have remained an idea rather than becoming a market-ready product contributing to UK democracy.

Having approached hundreds of funders, ABA distinguished itself through its collaborative approach and commitment to founder success. Its support in refining our investor pitch helped secure positive feedback and early-stage investment, enabling rapid progress from concept to market entry in less than 12 months.

Throughout this journey, ABA was our sole equity funding provider and has continued to add value beyond investment through ongoing engagement and support. I would strongly recommend entrepreneurs engage with ABA as early as possible if they are serious about growing their business.”

Stuart Fawcett, Founder of Incumbency.ai

“Advantage Business Angels provided us with a great opportunity to present our business and the investment case to their network of private investors. John Rankin of ABA was both very encouraging and provided invaluable feedback on the pitch before and after the actual event. I would have no hesitation recommending ABA and fully expect to work with them again on our next funding round.”

James Macnaghten, CEO at Caldera

“We used ABA as part of our last funding round and found the process simple, fast and efficient. We would have no hesitation in using them again and would recommend them to others”

Simon Wheatley, Director at Learning Labs Limited

“As a business owner you dream of finding investors who not only understand your business but also share your passion to succeed. It’s been a pleasure dealing with ABA and the support has been fantastic from start to finish.

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

Achille Traore, CEO at Perks Loyalty

“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.”

Elliott Herrod-Taylor, CEO at The Bunch

“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

“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.”
