What Is Next Level Business’ Angel List?

Whether you are a start-up looking for investment, or an investor looking for attractive opportunities, Next Level Business’ Angel List is the perfect place for you.

Gone are the days when the only source of finance for businesses was the local bank manager. Alternative finance (both equity and debt) has exploded in the UK; over 254,000 fundraising events took place with over 1.09m people investing in 2015.

To enable our clients (whether investor or investee) to meet their financial goals, Next Level Business brings you Angel List.

Angel List looks to facilitate a ‘connection’ between an investor and investee.

How does it work?

The Angel List service is different as it is wholly facilitated by Next Level Business. It provides discerning investors with attractive opportunities which are usually off market and unadvertised. And, it provides fundraising opportunities for investees looking to grow quickly through external investment.

What are the rules?

First Rule: You do not talk about Angel List

Second Rule: Refer only like-minded individuals if appropriate and use judgement with the first rule

Third Rule: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the investment discussion is over

Fourth Rule: Only two parties to an investment, the investor and the investee

“Before engaging with Next Level Business, we had had a bumpy period. Since engaging, we have recovered our form, and our business has gone from strength to strength, diversifying into other industries outside Formula 1 and improving both our profitability and cash position, as well as implementing plans to save us a small fortune in tax. We are ambitious for our business, and we have found a partner in Next Level Business to help us achieve our ambition.”
