Suffolk Investors Forum Investment Banking

Suffolk Investors bring together the expertise of more than 20 local accountants, lawyers, banks and trade associations, all working together to help businesses raise equity finance and to provide opportunities.

Suffolk Investors Forum provide a direct link to a structured business angel investor network.

• For investors to provide an opportunity to see a wide range of businesses that are
  investment ready that are seeking capital in return for their investors participation in the
  equity of the business
• Providing access to businesses seeking funding of £100,000 - £2 million. As the
  investment is often coming from individuals this means that they can share their
  business expertise and contacts to the business – a value beyond mere money
• For larger amounts and specialist funding the forum will provide directions for private
  placements, venture capital funding, flotation’s, asset finance and banking assistance

HOW IT WORKS

Suffolk Investors Forum have a multi-pronged approach and introduce investors to investees and to give them the Technical support to be able to successfully complete their investment:

• A database of investors and businesses requiring funding is maintained by the
  secretariat for the SIF. This is used to match the needs of both investors and
  businesses seeking funding as run by the UK’s largest angel funding specialist
• Each proposal put forward is pre-vetted in order to ensure their investors see
  opportunities that have true merit and that the business seeking funding has a clear
  commercial focus. A list of founder members of the forum is attached to assist you
• Regular events will be provided for investee business to present to registered investors
  to promote their opportunity and for investors to meet and develop commercial
  links with those in attendance
• Between the events the secretariat will provide a link to provide direct introductions
  of opportunities to investors that relate to the referred area of investment and need that
  they are interested in
• It is often the case that investors and investees like to be within 50 miles or a one hour
  drive of each other. This means that they can have a closer and in some cases a more
  effective working relationship. This is why the emphasis of the forum is based on Suffolk
  investors and Suffolk businesses
• This will provide for a 3 week period preference to Suffolk investors to be able to meet
  and discuss the opportunities available in Suffolk. After this period the opportunities will
  be promoted nationwide
• Though the nationwide link Suffolk investors will also have the opportunity to see
  businesses seeking funding relating to their particular area of expertise that may be
  outside Suffolk or complementary to their Suffolk investment operations
