Factors That Attracts Angel Investors To Your Business by prodfit: 5:46pm On Feb 05, 2016
It’s a rule of thumb that it will always take longer to raise angel financing than you expect, and it will be more difficult than you had hoped. Not only do you have to find the right investors who are interested in your sector, but you have to go through meetings, due diligence, negotiations on terms, and more.

Raising capital can be a very time-consuming process and the investors must also be attracted to your business. Here are what angel investors particularly care about:

1. The quality, passion, commitment, and integrity of the founders.
The quality of the founder’s proposition is key, the angel investor should see prospect in it. The founder must also exhibit passion, commitment and should be someone of integrity. These are the first impressions a founder should give a prospective angel investors.

2.The market opportunity being addressed and the potential for the company to become very big.
The business plan must have a viable market and should be one with an enviable prospect of rapidly developing over the years.

3.A clearly thought out business plan, and any early evidence of obtaining traction toward the plan.
A founder must be equipped with a clearly thought out business plan that has been thoroughly researched and the necessary feasibility study carried out. He/She must also show evidence of formulated plans to propel the business to the ”promised land”. This should be stated in the business plan and also in the course of presentation.

4. Interesting technology or intellectual property.
You don’t just go to an angel investor without putting some plans in place. Putting some necessary things in place portrays you as a serious and passionate founder. You must also possess knowledge of the business you are going into. Mind you, the biggest selling point of an entrepreneur is his/her intellectual property i.e. his understanding and knowledge.

5. An appropriate valuation with reasonable terms.
This factor is one that if not carefully handled could scare off the investor or shortchanged you. You should carry out adequate research to ascertain the value of your business plan. Failure to do this could end up in you over-valuing your plan, thus, scaring off the investor; or under-valuing it, thus, shortchanging yourself. Careful attention to this will result in a win-win situation for both parties.

Taking the aforementioned into consideration will make getting an angel investor easier.
