Where can i find a private investor / angel for our business start ?
Two qualified chartered accountants seeking to establish a financial services business serving the temporary recruitment industry, working from a base in the South West of England. A business plan has been prepared including profitability and cash flow projections covering the next five years. The plan calls for total equity investment in the region of £125k generating returns greater than 100% by the end of the second year, in what remains a growing market. In addition, the business requires seed capital or back to back finance secured by the debts of the portfolio. With the founder directors also injecting capital, we are actively seeking additional support to take the next step. Exit paths are well established for a business of this type e.g. listing or trade sale. If you would like to know more about our business proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us via email. We would be delighted to tell you more about our plans and aspirations.
