Testimonials & Code of Conduct"We searched for a company to help us raise funds from a source that would provide sensible involvement and sufficient resources to make our proposition work. We compiled a database of possible companies to help us in this venture. BACapital was chosen on the basis of right size, affordability in terms of value for money, and a network of the right kind of investor.Our subsequent experience with them has been very rewarding. They found and introduced a range of potential investors to us and succeeded in getting the funding we required (£100k). With a vested interest in our company, they are still networking relevant introductions and keeping contact with us. We would recommend anyone to talk with BACapital - they have the right contacts and in our case enough of them to make a suitable choice."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Further to the securing of investment for my business I would like to thank BACapital for all of your help, support and advice in the process. I have found yourselves to be very approachable and knowledgeable in terms of structuring a business plan and model. Finding an investor was crucial to the development of the business and your help in locating and then negotiating with the investor has been invaluable. I will be recommending BACapital to other business associates who may require investment and help."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"We need to ensure that we work with people that have a proven track record of high quality service delivery and that we trust. Business Angel Capital has repeatedly proven that they can offer a timely and understanding service to our clients without the traditional pomp and circumstance associated with the private equity market. They understand business and they understand both our clients' and our own needs and as such we have no hesitation in recommending their services."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"We are deeply grateful to BA Capital for the work they have done raising interest and funding for our business. BA Capital's advice and understanding of our company has been invaluable in the process of finding the right match of investor and liaising with both parties to a successful outcome."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Code of ConductBACapital was the first UK angel network to implement a Code of Conduct.Fee JustificationBusiness Angel Capital strives for transparency with respect to explaining which fees are charged and why.Progress ReportingIt can be an anxious time working with a business angel practitioner how many investors have been contacted with my proposal ?, what has been the response ? and when am I likely to receive funding ? are key questions that we address in regular weekly progress reporting to our clients.ConfidentialityAs far as possible, we aim to protect a client's Intellectual Property (IP). Clients should consider carefully which information to include in their initial Executive Summary / Synopsis. Whilst not giving away commercially sensitive information, the introduction should contain enough appealing material to persuade potential investors to read the business plan. At this stage we can request interested parties to sign your Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).Due DiligenceWhilst we as an intermediary between clients and investors do not carry out extensive due diligence into a client (this is largely the responsibility of investors) we do try as far as is practicably possible to ensure that a client proposal is commercially viable and that the management is competent. Similarly, whilst we can request a CV and references from an investor at the funding completion stage, it is largely the responsibility of the client to conduct their own due diligence.Ethical PracticeAlong with the above points within our Code, Business Angel Capital is fully committed to providing an ethical service of best practice. We try to explain to clients the nature of the business angel market and manage expectations in a realistic and positive way.

What is a Business Angel?The Equity GapWhat are investors looking for in a venture and in an entrepreneur?How do I become a business angel?What is a Business Angel?A business angel is a professional person with experience as a company director, owner or manager and with funds to invest in start-up and early stage ventures. As well as financial resources, business angels should be able to offer skills, expertise and contacts.Business angels vary in experience, background, expertise, the amount of funding they have available, as well as in their industry and geographical preferences.Business angels are a vital route to funding as well as an invaluable source of business acumen for the start-up and early stage entrepreneur. The Equity GapBusiness funding below £/$50k can often be achieved through a personal bank loan. At the other end of the spectrum, for businesses seeking over £/$1million, the venture capital market comes in to play. What is more difficult to fund is the range in between, the so-called equity gap. It is here that private business angel investors can help. This part of the economy is greatly under-served by the traditional financial market mainly because of the risks involved in start-up and early stage ventures. However, it is these companies that offer the greatest potential for the future development of the economy. This is the challenge for the Private Venture Capital industry.What are investors looking for in a venture and in an entrepreneur?How distinctive is the product or service and what competitive advantage does it have? How can it be protected and what are the barriers to entry for the competition? Why hasn't the product or service previously been available?What is the market potential and what are the factors that will lead to successful target market penetration?Are the assumptions that drive the revenue projections and the costs described in the financial model? Are they realistic? Can the risks be identified?Investors often look at the people before the project. Who are the managers behind the venture, what is their expertise and experience, why are they planning the business and are they likely to be successful?How do I become a business angel?First off, you should consider the amount of risk money you have available. No more than 10% of a portfolio should be invested in angel space deals. Keep investments small and generally invest in businesses that you understand and can add value to. If not, make sure that a competent team is in or is being put in place.How can you help make the venture a success aside from investing money?Get an accountant to advise you on tax opportunities such as EIS relief.Make sure you understand the meaning of the FSA's Sophisticated Investor definition. You should understand the associated risks of angel investing before entering to investment.
