How do you find angel investors?

I need one or more to help me with my importing wine from italy.
I am located in CA.
I am a single, white woman in my forties who decided to embark on this mission.
How do I find these people?
I cannot get a loan from the bank. They consider this too high risk.
I have wine in italy waiting to be shipped and buyers here who want to buy. I don’t have the funds to import.
I need $50,000 now.
This is a long shot in the dark, but I thought I would try it anyway.
Thank you…
Hard working wine importer.

Hi

I have raised quite a lot of money through Angel investors. In the Uk there are a number of networks where you register your proposal (see LINCScot)and investors who are interested get back to you. There is usually a fee for joining these networks and investors expect you (generally) to be a legally set up company etc. If you’re doing this on your own as an individual it may be better to find a “high net worth” individual who is willing to give you a loan, rather than investment as investment requires legal work, a company which is a legal entity, shares, etc. Whereas really it sounds as though you just want to loan some money on a short term basis for a high return.

It is worth putting together a business plan - I think if the proposal is good and you have orders waiting for the the wine, a bank may be more open than you think if there is a plan in place. Investors are certainly not a great deal easier to get money out of and they always want a good return on funds they invest and usually a tax break for investing as well (hence the legal side).

It may also be worth considering a personal loan/credit card combo. $50,000 is not a huge amount of money and you may be able to raise that capital as personal loans which would be a lot easier, quicker and if you’re sure of the return on the money, low risk and a lot less work.

Let us know how you get on.

Yours

Ailsa7

i am laughing so hard right now…i only have enough collateral to secure a cup of coffee…so much for angel investors…i guess even angels judge you by what you are worth…i wonder if the angel investors all had rich mommy and daddy angels or were they dirt poor like me…and if they were dirt poor…WHO GAVE THEM A CHANCE IN LIFE…sorry for troubling you

Guys, please see all the above are scammers, angel investors and VCs do not ask for ANY money from you. Please do some research

Hi there let me explain my situation from the beginning and hopefully someone can help.My names Ben I’ve just terned 22 I’ve recently left the armed forces after completing four years. I’ve completed two back to back tours of Iraq on the front line.I’m now in the middle of setting up my own charity raising funds for injured troops my charity will also be involved in housing lads and helping them financially when they leave the forces. I’m extremely passionate about my charity and theres no way my charity is going to fail i received a call of one of my close friends a few weeks ago to tell me that one of our lads had took his own life. I think society believe if you haven’t been physically injured then your okay this really is not the case mental illnesses are just as bad if not worse.Anyway I’ve got a great team in place but i need an investor to lend us the sum of £10 000 to be fully operational this will enable us to become registered as well as buying are charity merchandise and solicitor fees.All funds will be paid back no later then 6 weeks of us receiving it.If you feel you know anyone who may be able to help please contact me asap thanks Ben. i> small>(email removed) /small> /i>
