The term was originally used when referring to financiers of Broadway plays. Many plays would not have reached the opening night if it were not for the generous funding of Angel-Investors. Today the term is used when referring to individuals or groups who choose to invest their own personal wealth into start-up businesses and budding entrepreneurs. There are an estimated quarter of a million Angel Investors in Britain, who invest in excess of £3 billion in these opportunities.

Angel-Investors are typically middle-aged, affluent, erudite, and ambitious. They have most likely run one or more businesses of their own, and often remain connected to their business in a non-executive role. They are often seeking to utilise the financial opportunity gained in terms of Capital Gaines tax relief. Angel Investors are typically sought when an entrepreneur's capital is exhausted, and typical investments made by an Angel-Investor vary from as little a £5,000 up to £500,000, which falls below the investment a Venture Capital firm by be looking to invest.

The Entrepreneurs listed in Angel-Investors.co.uk range from individuals, to small start-up companies, with the opportunities offered being extremely diverse. They often fall short in terms of eligibility, for venture capital funds. They will often be proficient in their area of expertise, but often do not have the funding or financial experience necessary to get a business off the ground. Entrepreneurs may often ask for your guidance and expertise, although this depends on the individual.

As a registered investor, there are no costs involved in using this service. Only entrepreneurs are charged a small service fee to establish contact.

You should look into the Enterprise Investments Scheme Association (EISA) www.eisa.org.uk which details the tax incentives associated with angel-investing.
