Hi ,Like a lot of people I have just come across this site, and as a serial ideas person with lots of attempts at raising money for projects(and usually failing because I dont have the money to buy into fees to find business angels etc).
Im hoping the information and advice I can get from this site will help to get one or more of my projects further.
Perhaps if enough of us like minded people could get together,we might encourage business angels to be more accesssable.Any one interested in talking about it or giving it a try?

Hi Steve.

Welcome,
The princes youth business trust is an organisation I think you would be interested in. There is an info link here
[url]http://www.teneric.co.uk/forums/thread838.html[/url]

They only help people who don't have the fund's to advance there plans.
They team you up with a business angel.
And I found there literature inspiring in itself.

I have seen them in action working with people with zero funding. A truly fantastic organisation.

Long live Prince Charlie

There are other local organisations like business eye(business connect) who could offer you an advisory service from local business people.

hope this helps,

Hi Steve,

I think that you have found somewhere where you can give any project you wish to pursue a good push. When you are ready. I'm sure you'll get plenty of advice...

Mark-I trust you are right.I look forward to the contact and information anyway.
Any Business Angel contacts?

Hi Mike
Thanks for the welcome.
Have 3 ideas for internet-1)a gambling site(full business plan available,in confidence of course)- 2)a fun site involving charatures/cartoon of footballers+competitions,and 3)a site involving out of print books.
Also working on an advance brake warning system for motor vehicles
Also maitenance free interiors.
I have posted a thread looking for a programmer/partner for the internet sites.
I have posted a thread looking for people involved in propertydevelopement ..for comments on the maintenance free interiors project.
Would be interested to hear from anyone with motor vehicle electrics knowledge for the brake warning system.

I would be interested in seeing your gaming site BP (vested interest you see )

[wornout]

Lots of ingredients-not many finished pies ready to sell yet,hoping that might change having joined this site.Vested interest? you have my attention,could you elaberate via PM.I would be happy to show you my BP,if you could mail me your acceptance of confidentiality(sorry to do this ,but im sure you understand).Must stress its a gambling site not a gaming site.

That is a lot of ideas. Unfortunately I do not have much experience in any of these areas. Good luck with them anyway.

Was hoping that maybe someone would get turned on by one or more of my ideas.Peterj are you still interested in looking at BP?
I still wonder if a forum such as this, with a group of us ,could actualy launch someones idea(s),would be great if it could.
