Angel Investors in South Africa

September 3rd, 2007 · 68 Comments

Angel Investing

I’ve been speaking to a number of journalists in South Africa and abroad recently about the state of the angel investor market in South Africa.

The Sunday Times published some of my comments yesterday.

I look forward to the day when entrepreneurs have easier access in South Africa to the Angel network.

    Hi - i am looking for an investor for my interior design business, which is based in Cape Town. I have a full business plan and CV for my business partner and I. We have an amazing product/ service, but are looking for that extra boost that would enable us to go that extra mile! Where do i begin??

    Hi Pamela and Louise,

    there are a number of ways of raising finance.

    1. Speak to the banks
    2. Friends and family round
    3. Angel Investors - approach high net worth individuals
    4. Corporate Investors
    5. Venture Capitalists

    And in addition there are brokers, middle men and an assortment of other parties eager to get involved for a variety of reasons.

    You also need to decide whether you are looking to give away equity or want to loan funds. The advantage of equity is the funding raised is most likely not a loan so there isn’t interest to be paid back - the disadvantage, you give up a share of your business.

    The first step once you have got your business plan ready both down on paper, and in your mind, is to start approaching people - speak to as many of the people on the list that you can…it’s time consuming, but each person you speak to, you’ll learn a little more about how to sell your business to someone, and probably learn a few new ideas along the way for your business.

    And eventually, assuming your business has all the right ingredients (potential, management team etc), after knocking on enough doors, you’ll find your right investment partner…

    GOOD LUCK

    Hi Eric,

    I am young namibian, with a proposal to start a website that advertises jobs to our local market. I am less than a month away from launching my product and I am in need of funding to start my venture.

    I have come up with new ideas to not only deliver the job vacancies through a website but through other innovative ideas to also cater for those with no internet access. this ideas require a substantial input of funding in order to bring them to life.

    I have a BP in place and will more than like to discuss this opportunity with you. Who knows? we might use the solutions in this venture to launch a similar product in south africa.

    I am currently testing out the website on the web address provided above. It’s being hosted by a friend in Austria.

  • 11 Eric // Jan 16, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    Angel Investors?? South Africa!

    This sounds great…what ROI is expected from these investors.

    Our company is the largest sandstone mining company in Southern Africa. We are in the process to establish Bulk Distributors in each major province in South Africa to supply our smaller distributors and dealers.
    The cost of the infrastructure to setup a warehouse in Gauteng is estimated around R1.5 million.

    We have 12% shareholding available for investors. We plan to list at alt-x in two years time.

    Our current production capability is approx. 450 000 square meters per annum.

    Let me know should there be an angel interested…

    Hi there

    I’ve created and run the very aptly named websites called, http://www.dateworld.co.za and http://www.careerworld.co.za in Southern Africa and I know that these are two very lucrative markets on the internet.

    I already have a decent database on the Career World web site and I’m looking for investors that will share my views and invest in promoting these two websites.

    The Date World web site is coming on and I’m hoping to reach the 1000 member mark sometime soon.

    If you’re an investor, looking for a lucrative online venture.. With these two very uniquely named websites, I’m sure we can turn this market on it’s head.

    Small and Big investors are welcome.

  • 17 Anna // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Hi Eric,

    I am puzzled and hope you can assist to enlighten me …
    Our start-up company is raising capital and offer equity in return. When trying to arrange that investors’ money be paid into a trust account, our lawyers informed us that it is illegal for a non-publicly listed company (like ours) to sell equity beyond our personal network of friends and family. (I suppose it makes sense, because such a company can not be regulated like listed companies.)
    Does this mean that we cannot target the industry in which we plan to launch our product, to become investment partners? There are not that many rich people and potential investors in my personal network!

    Regards, Anna

  • 23 Chris // Oct 13, 2008 at 10:41 pm

    Its proving extemely difficult to raise start up capital for a company that specialises in the commercial, live entertainment industry in SA, even though this industry has grown rapidly over the last ten years. Investors simply view the industry as a “Cinderella” one. We are currently trying to raise R1,5 million ($165,000) to fund three major productions in 2009. But to date - IMPOSSIBLE! Can anyone advise where to go next? Even off-shore?

  • 29 Jabu // Dec 10, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    Good day

    We’re South African based.We have a super opportunity for interested investors in Mobile VOIP.Cellphone VOIP is the future of communications as it offers

    the user the convenience of low call costs to anywhere in the world, offering savings way over 90% in calls made.We’ve researched the market and have found that this product is very viable.We already have over 3000 people willing to “test-drive” the product on launch and they have promised to recomend it to at least ten of their friends each if they are impressed.Conservarively, we hope to have 10 million customers by end of year 2 of product,each contributing $ 3 monthly for access to the application or a combined $30 monthly.We will later on add other moneymaking features like an Advertising platform,gaming e.t.c We have an impressive marketing and pricing strategy in place, and part of it is by offering an error -free and high quality voice product.We have a very innovative way of charging our customers for acces to the product,this will ensure that those who were previously unable to access similar products from competitors, because they couldnt purchase “talk credits” with their credir cards, will finally be able to, as they wont need a credit card to purchase airtime.Neither will they need phone cards or wired transfers.Unlike our VOIP competitors who mostly service Nokia phones(Symbian), we have extend our services to other devices as well, therefore a bigger market.We also have plans in place to ensure that we dont overload networks,we appreciate that Cellphone network providers will always put their voice call customers first over their data users, so we have come up with a plan to ensure that this wont compromise their customers and theirs.
    We need $ 1000,000 to get the product to the market,We will probably use less than that but after considering a lot of factors

    ,icluding inflation, we came up with that amount to be on the safe side.The money will be used for setting up infrastructure,marketing and call centre employee recruitment,training and salaries over the next 2 years.We are willing to negotiate shareholding and share buybacks.If you’re interested in hearing more ,please dont hesitate to e-mail me on zozoyimobile@gmail.com

    We sick to acquire USD 25 000 for the project

    The project is to produce pavers and cement bricks of high quality from a state of art machinery

    The project is to produce the pavers and cement bricks fro the state of art machinery with the capacity of producing more than 25 000 pieces per 8 hour day shift. We have been in the business of laying pavers for almost 4 years but we have realised the need to enter into the production of the pavers as the demand has risen as a result of .

    a) The recovery of the economy
    b) The need of building to accommodate the influx of people who will attend the 2010 world cup in South Africa

    The team has vast experience in this business, They are very few players in this industry. The projections and all the variables to the success of the project are available and they are ready for review, . The money is needed to purchase the machinery. In return the investor will be awarded partnership into the business and on top of that, the immediate repayment of the amount invested plus agreed interest. Through this arrangement the investor is garanted the returns and the rest will inflows at no cost.

    The repayment period must not execed more than four moths after resumption of operation . The project will be expected to grow 5 folds within a period of one and half year. The timing of the project is right now when the economic situation is turning around for the good. It is the early bird which gets the fat worm. The projections and the details of the project can be provided. It must be noted that the statutes of this country Zimbabwe have been opened up to enter into any deal with anyone international and the dividends are paid in foreign currency without any Taxes to the Government. The partners can now enter into any shareholding structure without any limitations. The products are been sold in any currency mainly the USD and the Rand which are stable currencies for doing business

    An over view

    The price of 1 paver is 0.20 USD and the profit margin is 45% compare to 25 000 plus pieces per day you can imagine the whole project.

    The project capital is a drop in the ocean. Contact Maxwell on compguidezim@yahoo.com

    Hi Eric. I am looking for an angel investor for my Internet business. I have tried a few banks and government agencies but I am not winning - the common reponse has been “we do not undrestand Internet business and thus we we are not keen to invest in it”. What’s worse, one government agency could not find any investment analyst in their team who had the competence to assess my business plan. Can you help, either giving me leads or are still at full capacity?

    Just a note to all seeking funding from investors.

    Countless hours of work and sweat goes into what we are trying to accomplish and with no sucess, we spent hours on the web and large amounts of money we lay awake nights wondering what will be, Site after site after site hands us ideas on how to secure investors yet with no answers. we all believe that our idea is the next wow, well keep on believing it and keep on believing in yourself and your idea “It is not the amount of times we fall but rather the amount of times we stand up that matters” so keep on and you will in the end prevail.

    Good luck.

    Hi Eric

    I am a founder and owner of a passenger transport company in Gauteng - servicing mainly corporate clients. Since launching almost 12 months ago, we have enjoyed phenomenal growth including private clients, without much marketing and advertising. We have received numerous enquiries (from private individuals) to join our company and operate under our brand

    Safety, reliability and affordability are our main focus and differentiator. Due to lack of funding, my partners and I used our limited resources to launch and grow the venture.
    We however knew all along that our own resources would get us only this far and would need funding to grow to the next level.

    We are looking for funding (R2m) at most to position the company and proceed with our franchise plans and marketing the service

    Hi

    I am looking for an investor or investors that can help me by funding a Franchise. It is an American based company, but they have franchises all over the world except Africa. It is a weight loss program and that has been very successful.

    I worked for the company in the United States, I also did the program, so I know 100% that it works, I lost all the extra weight and kept it off.

    Please respond, if you know of any one that might be interested in investing in a leading weight-management service company in the world, and also interested in making a positive impact on the lives of our clients and the health of our nation. Please let me know.

    Thanks Chisha Chilangwa
