Financial adventurers WANTED (to provide seed money)!

Angel investors are canny individuals who know that there is money to be made by helping inventors and small business entrepreneurs get their commercial enterprises off the ground. Imagine contributing your capital – perhaps also some personal expertise and business contacts – and reaping great financial rewards in the process.

Capitalising on Private Equity
Rather than playing the stock market and taking their lumps and bumps with failing financial institutions, angel investors capitalise on private equity. The latter comes in the form of private companies that may not go public for five to ten years, and as such offer potentially profitable pickings for a limited number of players. In return for providing some initial seed money and investment capital, angel investors get a lion’s share off the profitable top. Is it risky? You bet! Is it highly profitable? You better believe it.

The Need for Angel Investors
Economic uncertainties have left banks tight-fisted, and small business loan applications are being rejected as a matter of course these days. Many small business entrepreneurs and start-up companies are desperate for capital and willing to sign any kind of business deal that will get them their much-needed funding.

For angel investors, this can be a very lucrative a market niche so long as they choose their investments wisely. Imagine adding angel investing to your overall portfolio of skills and realising some serious profits in a number of companies that you – to a point – have a measure of say in. Is this not entirely different from the bank where your money is currently sitting, or the stocks you own that are going topsy-turvy?

Making Money in Angel Investing
You may have noticed that angel investors are in a league of their own: they are visionary investors who are not looking for immediate returns on an investment but know that their payoff will be two, four or five years away. They have the capital to allocate to these long-term investments, and are canny enough to recognise a money-maker when they see it and follow their gut feel and industry know-how to invest in these opportunities.

Not everyone can join the elite ranks of the angel investors; those who buy and sell investments in a matter of weeks or get spooked over the slightest market hiccup should not apply. Moreover, those with money but not vision are also strongly discouraged from becoming angel investors.

Instead, this exclusive group is made up of shrewd members of the business community, ready to put their money to work and to keep an eye on their investments. This is truly an opportunity for investors who firmly believe that they are the makers of their own fortunes.
