STOP PRESS - 2 Jun 2009
ur recent London Investment Fair, held last week, proved to be one of our best yet in terms of the high quality of companies presenting and looking for funding and a record number of investors and their guests who visited us on the day. Our selection process of taking on around 3% of the opportunities that are presented to us is key to this and we are actively looking for more companies requiring funding in the £100,000-£3m range.
Should you be aware of, or be involved with, any entrepreneurs seeking funding at any time we would be delighted to hear from you or them. Our guide to securing business funding may be helpful to them and can be found by clicking here.
Our investors are typically looking to invest in to private companies that can show:
* A clear and rational business plan demonstrating significant growth.
* A management team that has the ability to create profits, particularly through capital growth for investors.
* An exit strategy, perhaps through a public offer, trade sale or buy back.
* A realistic valuation for incoming funds.
Recruitment
New business start ups and the lack of availability of other sources of finance mean that business angel funding is a growth sector and we are building up our team of associates throughout the UK. We are seeking people with the qualities which we most value - namely a deal maker, with ability to sell and to market themselves and Beer services and who have a clear understanding of corporate finance type deals on a small scale.
We are recruiting in London, Reading, Coventry & Warwickshire, Manchester, Leeds, and Scotland. Should you know of anyone who you believe would fulfil this profile and be interested we would appreciate your referral.
Michael Weaver, Beer & Partners Limited
