About Business Angels

This is a global introduction service for private firms and private angel investors

The term 'business angel' was used in the theatre when financial backers invested in a theatrical production and contributed their skills and contacts to enhance the success of the show. The same term was used centuries ago by traders searching the world for merchants.

Business Angels began investing in a wide range of commercial ventures. They are often retired and invest their business skills as well as their capital into new and developing enterprises.

Over the last fifteen years that we have offered this matching service we have seen new forms of business angel investment emerge.

Younger individuals, rather than buy a business outright and run it alone, invest in someone else's good idea and work with them to develop the business. This is like a management buy-in. A younger Business Angel can be a succession solution.
Consultants who want looking for a greater reward from the results of their work, not just fees for service. Consultants then know that their advice will directly affect their own financial position.
Companies who have generated surplus cash through their own diligence seek to invest their systems, contacts, time and money to help another company achieve growth.

The right combination of people, business venture, capital and skill gives a greater chance to, not only succeed, but exceed expectations.

Business Angels Pty. Ltd. provides a central register where both angel investors and businesses find each other. The needs of the business are matched with the angels' criteria.

The process of both sides finding each other has been described as a "giant game of hide and seek with both parties blindfolded" until now. Our Business Angels database provides structure to the private venture capital market and opens up opportunities that may not have been considered. Registering with a central database offers everyone wider options.

The matching expertise and database management skills of director, Christine Kaine, gained over many years provides a firm foundation for the Business Angels register; this is coupled with the motivation to help more businesses realise their potential.

Small and medium businesses and innovation play a pivotal role in the health of the economy. Many innovative technologies are being ignored. A Business Angel's skill and investment can increase the success of a business.

Dramatic social and technological change also require new solutions for business growth. In 1999 the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced that forty percent of people would never marry - this will impact on the family business and succession issues.

Most good ideas are simple and this central register is one such good idea. Registration on our database can only occur by paying the fee and completing our questionnaire. See our fee policy - fees; on the navigation bar to your left. Once you have read our information and wish to register complete the registration application form. Upon receipt of your payment we will email you a link to the detailed questionnaire.
