Does anyone know how to get in touch with business angels/investors?


I need funding for a very ambition project but I'm not sure how to get hold of people who want to invest their money on old & new ideas. I would also like to know how you get advice on running businesses, making business plans and cashflow forecasts. I've written three business plans in the past,but I've never known whether they were correct or not. I already run two successful businesses, but this latest idea was inspired by reading Duncan Bannaytynes Anyone can do it - so it's big! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

see below

Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.

Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.

SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.

SCORE is a great resource!

I'd also recommend the following books:

"The Art of the Start" by Guy Kawasaki
"How to Write a Business Plan" from Entrepreneur Magazine Publishing

And then for running your business:

"Good to Great" by Jim Collins
"The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell

Good luck!
