Fund Raising

Funding is fundamental to starting and growing your business. channels4profit have successfully helped companies find hundreds of thousands or pounds of funding from a variety of sources:

The Banks:

Banks are a good source of funding where you require working capital to fund cash flow. The UK Government provide schemes which will underwrite proportions of any loans you may need; some of these schemes are either market of geographically focused. channels4profit can help find you sources of bank funding.

As well as loans, there are sources of equity investment too.

Business Angels:

A business angel is an individual who typically, have sold up, made their money and are looking for new opportunities. A business angel would, typically invest sums in the region of £100K. They are eligible for tax relief on their investment which makes the investment very tax efficient for them too. The advantage of a business angel is that they normally invest in businesses where they have personal knowledge of the market i.e. they will get involved. channels4profit has a access to networks of Business Angels.
