So what is an angel investor? The term angel stems originally from the private investors that would fund Broadway musicals. Over the years, the term has become more encompassing and now business angels invest in industries and countries all over the world.
The UK angel market is a thriving one as more and more investors look for investments outside the traditional stock market and property market. The UK now has around 18,000 business angels. Collectively, it is reckoned they invest around 500 million a year in around 3,500 businesses though since a lot of deals are private in nature the exact sum is unknown. One way or another, however, angel money is a growing source of funding for early-stage business.
