Investing as a business angel offers fun and financial reward but
the real world is much tougher than portrayed in the reality TV
show Dragons Den. Anything can go wrong with a young company, from
an unreliable product to a lack of customers, unexpected
competition to management failure and, most commonly, simply
running out of money. But small companies are a vital part of the
economy, and the tax breaks for investing are a great incentive.
And supportive investors are vital. Now is a better time than ever
to invest in small companies hoping to make it big. There's a
tsunami of investable businesses disrupting old industries with new
technology and new methods. The rewards can be huge if you are
patient, sensible and smart. And there's the satisfaction of
helping to bring a new and valuable thing into the world. Whether
you're a newbie or an old hand, Business Angel Investing is your
comprehensive guide on how to invest, what to invest in, how to
manage your investments and how to make money. Richard Hargreaves
has invested in young companies for almost 50 years. Let him show
you how being a business angel can be fascinating, fun and
profitable.
This authoritative and accessible investment classic promises rare
insight into what it really takes to run money in a top-performing
investment fund. Anthony Bolton, the UK's most successful stock
market investor, tells the story of his contrarian approach to
managing money. He provides invaluable lessons on the factors that
really matter in picking a stock: the need to identify good
managers, how to run a portfolio, the importance of value
investing, reading charts and how to trade successfully.
