Business Angel Financing Seminars

What You Will Learn at ICR's Angel Financing Seminar

For many small businesses, traditional forms of financing are not an option. Their survival depends on their ability to identify alternative forms of financing. Those who are creative, feast from an unlimited menu of opportunities, including family, friends, suppliers, former employers, strategic alliances, barter, inventory financing, hard money lenders and business-angel investors.

Discover the numerous alternative sources available for financing your company:

• Who today's private investors are
• What their investment criteria are
• How they seek out investments
• What they look for in documentation and presentation
