There are many reasons to become an investor in businesses or property but here are some of the best;



1. You make a difference.  By investing in businesses or property you are making a difference to your community and your country as well as your own bank balance!

2.  You get Tax Relief.  Through Enterprise Investment Schemes (in the UK known as EIS or SEIS) you can offset any potential losses or reduce Capital Gains Tax on any spectacular investments

3. You are making your money work for you as opposed to leaving it sitting in a bank account gathering dust and (in 2018) very little interest.  In fact with inflation, you are actually losing money by leaving it in the bank. So get it to work and met it do what it's supposed to do and make the world go around!

4. You get to meet new, interesting and creative people who are usually full of life and enthusiasm for their scale-up or their property proposal.

5. You get exposed to deals that are off the grid.  Angel investors usually get to see the deals that are below the radar.
