You have your idea, and are sure it will be a success. You’ve studied your market and know who your competitors are. You have completed your plan and have income and expense projections for the next five years. All you need now is start-up capital. It should be easy to find an investor, right?
Well, yes and no. It’s true that private investors, also known as angels, reside in every country in the world. It’s also true that there are different investors for different businesses. Locating them can be a challenge, as they don’t walk around with a sign saying ‘free money.’ There are a couple of different places you can start your search, however. Some investors hook up with local university programs because they are always looking for fresh new ideas; so you can talk with some of the professors to find out what they know. You should also be able to locate them on the internet. Finding the right investor will depend largely on the type of you’ve chosen. Let’s have a look at the types of investors.
