Business Angels for Creative Businesses

[rantmagazine]

Hi,

Angels or Investors for Creative businesses? Does it exist? Although the creative industries seem to be resording all time rise in profits, investors seem to shy away from investing in any.

If anyone knows of any investor/angel companies that have a department that specialises in the above, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Irene

Also, have you looked into the possibility of securing funding from the Arts Council?

yes, I have...tried pretty much everything but the Arts Council are VERY specific and in a way 'fascist' in the way they fund. You must fall under alot of headings only, not more then two headings, so as the magazine falls under alot of headings due to it's originality-they find it confusing...
