Raise new equity capital in the seed and early stages of your company’s development

You might be eligible if:

• Your business is in the seed or early stages of development.

• A range of supports to help you get ‘investor ready’ and access business angel networks. You may have access to angels through your own personal contacts or you may choose to contact the various Halo Business Angel Networks which are based across the island of Ireland.
• Intertrade Ireland fund and support several angel networks together with Invest NI and Enterprise Ireland.

The individual amounts invested by Business Angels are usually in the range of €25,000 to €250,000 although syndicated deals (where a group of angels invest together) can be up to €1m. In return for their investment they take an equity stake in your company and usually expect to exit their investment between 3 and 7 years.
