EIF Working Paper 2011/11 – Business Angels in Germany - EIF’s initiative to support the non-institutional financing market

Research & Market Analysis (RMA) has the pleasure to present "Business Angels in Germany - EIF’s initiative to support the non-institutional financing market”, n.11 of EIF's Working Paper Series.  

This paper gives insights into the Business Angel (BA) segment with a special focus on Germany. First we introduce the concept of BA financing. In a second step we analyse the BA market in Germany. We conclude that there is a significant excess demand for early stage financing. In the third part of this paper we explain, how the EIF aims to address this by providing a flexible and timely support to the BAs market through establishing an intermediation infrastructure to efficiently leverage this investor base.

The EIF Working Paper Series has been designed to make available to a wider readership selected topics and studies in relation to EIF´s business. The Working Papers are edited by EIF´s RMA. They are typically authored or co-authored by EIF staff and are usually published only electronically.
