Book Review - Angels and Entrepreneurs

Getting investment is probably as hard now as it has ever been, and as easy. Investors are still investing in the best businesses and the best businesses are still finding the right partners, but there is more scrutiny and more care, That's a good thing.

Angels & Entrepreneurs is a must-read for anyone considering Angel investing. Written by BlackStar Jonathan Harrison, the book gives an overview of a typical business funding cycle and other essential information such as:

• Where to find suitable opportunities
• Facts that a Business Angel should initially review for pre-selection
• What an Entrepreneur should look for in a Business Angel
• What due diligence the Business Angel should carry out before investing
• What should be in the Shareholder Agreement?
• How does the Business Angel achieve an exit? The chances of a successful exit
• Business Angel investing statistics

Also included in the book are case studies of Angel investments made by the author based on both a successful and unsuccessful exit, check lists and flow charts.

Angels & Entrepreneurs is available to purchase now on Ecademy Press for £ 9.99 plus p&p.

I've known Jonathan for many years through his membership of BlackStar and I know that his advice is sound and practical. Worth it's weight in gold, if gold is what you need. Enjoy the read.
