An effectively presented business plan is imperative. Your business plan should contain a marketing plan, a sales plan, solid financial projections, and a thorough description of operational control. Illustrate an exit strategy for your angel. The business plan should be compelling and attract investment. Make sure yours is polished. Don’t be afraid to show it to independent observers.

Since many companies are basing their success on proprietary intellectual property, make sure yours is protected. Show your potential investors what legal measures you have taken to secure any trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets.

Once you have organized your materials in a marketable format, you will need to develop or purchase a list of qualified angels to present your opportunity to. Source your angels carefully, and make sure those that you market to can deliver kind of financial injection you seek. Utilize more than one source of potential funding. We all know that “big fish” can and will get away.

Bear in mind that this process may take some time. Be patient. Be ready to present your ideas and concepts at a moment's notice. Be prepared and organized, and continue to persevere!
