Personalized Financial Guidance Rooted in Core Values
In an ecosystem where innovation and entrepreneurship are booming, Business Angels play a key role by providing not only capital, but also mentoring and access to a strategic network for start-ups at the seed stage. They are generally involved from the earliest rounds of financing, co-financing projects with high growth potential and sharing their expertise to maximise the chances of success.
of a Business Angel
A Business Angel is a high net worth individual who invests part of his or her personal funds in innovative start-up companies, in exchange for an equity stake and an active support role.
THE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT
MINISTRY OF THE ECONOMY
Often former executives or successful entrepreneurs, they want to ‘give back’ by supporting new entrepreneurial ventures.
A Partnership Built on Commitment
Financing
Business Angels provide essential seed capital to cover the first expenses (R&D, prototypes, initial recruitment) and validate the commercial potential of the project.
Mentoring and governance
As well as money, they offer strategic mentoring: decision-making, drawing up the business plan, defining the development strategy and access to their own professional network.
They can also sit on the Board of Directors, contributing to the governance and structuring of the company.
What projects are financed by business angels?
What are the advantages of working with a business angel?
Business angels provide funds to promising companies that have not necessarily proven themselves. They enable them to implement their projects, and contribute to their growth through their experience and knowledge of the market.
Business angels also enable the founding team to share the risks with people who have a vested interest in the company’s success, thereby securing their financial investment.
In addition, business angel financing is a powerful lever for obtaining other financing (from banks, for example).
Rapid access to capital:
Financing rounds with Business Angels are often more agile than institutional fundraising.
Sector expertise :
Investors’ sector-specific experience helps avoid common mistakes and accelerate market penetration.
