The pan-european Business Angel Exchange
BANE is a platform for Business Angels and other Investors, matching their requirements with equity seeking companies. And vice-versa!
Our focus is set on capital for corporate expansion as well as succession planning strategies. We offer fund raising services for entrepreneurs and business leaders who plan to start, develop or grow their businesses.
Growth or development funding can be defined as the provision of capital to companies which are sound in structure but need critical financing to be able to expand and develop the existing business.
Business Angels are wealthy individuals who invest in start-up and growth companies in return for equity in the company. The investment can involve both time (work wise) and money depending upon the investor.
