Angel investing is a unique investment option where high net-worth individuals provide businesses with necessary funding in exchange for equity in the business. People seek out angel investment opportunities because of the higher-than-average potential returns.
Angel investors invest in both mature companies and start-ups alike. A recent study shows that the average business that seeks out angel investors is 6 years old. Companies seek out angels because it allows them to connect with public investors while remaining a privately-held company.
