Business Angels are private investors who invest directly in a company in exchange for a place on board or an equity stake. They may invest in a company for a capital gain. Business Angels can be a source of useful knowledge for the business and they have a vast experience in the industry they operate in. Venture capitalists exchange their capital for an equity share or a position at a strategic level often through a non-executive position on the board. Their prime aim is to increase the value of their shares so that they may sell those for a profit. The shareholders receive a share of the profits through a dividend. This share of profit is derived from preference shares or ordinary shares.
