Winchester Business School, at the University of Winchester, is hosting an event to explain the benefits of becoming a “business angel”.
“In the current economic climate, there has been a significant increase in demand from entrepreneurs seeking access to alternative sources of investment,” said Professor Neil Marriott, who is dean of the school.
“It is therefore vital that we attract more business angels to nurture the innovative enterprises of tomorrow and to assist in maintaining the future competitiveness of the UK’s economy.”
Potential “business angels” and their key advisers will be invited to hear more about the importance of “angel investing” as well as the potential returns and tax breaks they can expect from such activities.
The event, on February 9, is being managed by Finance South-East as part of a UK campaign coordinated by the British Business Angels Association.
“We are excited to be promoting this activity in Winchester and hope that it will stimulate some interesting investment activity,” said Sally Goodsell, chief executive of Finance South-East.
Winchester Business School will soon be announcing the opening of a facility where entrepreneurs and business advisers can hold confidential meetings and take home a DVD of the entire proceedings to protect their intellectual property.
