Angel Investment

Equity funding from experienced investors to accelerate your business growth

What Is Angel Investment?

Angel investment is a form of equity finance where individual investors — known as angel investors — provide capital to early-stage or growing businesses in exchange for a share of ownership. Alongside funding, angel investors often bring valuable expertise, mentoring, and industry connections to help businesses scale successfully.

Unlike traditional loans, angel investment does not require monthly repayments. Instead, investors share in the long-term success of your business, typically through a future sale or growth in company value.

At The Funding Group, we connect innovative UK businesses with vetted angel investors who understand your sector and support your vision.
