Scotland’s business angels should play a bigger role in advising start-up firms, a new report from researchers at the University of the West of Scotland has recommended.
The report, Business Angel Syndicates in Scotland, recommends that government should tap into private-sector expertise to help new companies become investment-ready.
The report, subtitled an Exploratory Study of Gatekeepers, looks at the role of angel syndicate managers and how they might be further enhanced to benefit the Scottish economy. One of its key recommendations is that emerging entrepreneurs should have greater access to the expertise of angel gatekeepers in the early stages to help make their business investment-ready.
