Attracting Capital from Angels
Angel capital investors are private individuals who invest money out of pocket to provide start-up capital for small businesses. Since putting money into a new business is a very high-risk proposition, angel capital investors require an extremely high rate of return on their investments and often ownership equity (the owner's interest in assets after all debts and liabilities are paid off; generally what's left in the event of bankruptcy).
Angel investors will typically expect a return of around 20 to 30 percent (i.e. 20 to 30 percent growth on the investment). Even though this is considerably higher than what one would end up paying on a business loan, bank financing is not usually available to businesses in the early stages of development.
Though a small business owner can't expect to raise as much with an angel capital investor as with a venture capitalist, angel investors can still put up more money than friends or family, usually between a few hundred thousand dollars and a million. It is important for anyone trying to start a new business to know how much start-up capital they will need and which kind of investor is the best fit to provide it.
