Looking for investors in South Africa

Looking for Investors in South Africa

Looking for investors for most South African Entrepreneurs seems like a mammoth task. And we are not here to tell you the exact opposite… rather offer you a proven and easier solution to your need.

Remember if you can’t raise capital… its game over!

• You can’t start your business.
  
• You can’t run your business.
  
• You can’t grow your business.

Brilliant Foundations has already made your work much lighter by compiling a comprehensive list of investors located in South Africa who are looking for sound business investment opportunities. Most of our investors, don’t give away their contact information easily mainly because of three reasons:

1. To protect their identity from clone sites and associations.
2. To protect themselves from fraudulent business opportunities
   
3. Avoid influx of poorly written business plans and business proposals.
   

Needless to say, remember investors are real people, with real contacts and people with a busy life like everyone else. Now imagine yourself having a phone that rang continuously from unsolicited callers and an email inbox full of some coax stories of some fraudulent opportunists. Honestly that wouldn’t be fair at all to say the least. Investors choose to do business in a professional, ethical and sound manner.

Now, in your search for investors, you should remember that they are steps to follow to make your company or project to be investor ready. What is the first step to approaching a potential investor? You need a business plan and other due dilligence documents like the private placement memorandum which go hand in hand with the business plan in most cases.

Now we won’t talk about business plans in this section but as you go along I want you to read this information with that requirement in thought. I suppose you have already finished it before you look any further.

The South African business community is one that is diverse and I can repeatedly say rich in diversity. A detailed analysis of the Absa SME Index shows how the community has evolved over time from independence in 1994. Business opportunities are surfacing from different angles of the economy every single day. With the upgrading of infrastructure to world class standards, South Africa has become an investment destination for both local and international investors.

Government backed loans from banks and social initiatives are limited in capacity. Innovative entrepreneurs are not intimidated by such facts. They look for alternative ways to raise money to fund their businesses. The rising of a new group of such alternatives has given birth to Angel Investment groups and Venture Capital Firms in South Africa.

These have gathered experience in different industries across the economy and are ready to invest in different projects and companies. They are not some easy cash cows and not an alternative for “chancers”… excuse the word.

They typically invest anything from R100 000 to R10 Million in the companies they choose to invest in as you can find out from our highly resourceful BFI Investor Database.
