Financial regulation of business angel investment in the UK allows HNWIs to invest in small businesses and in turn gives businesses the chance to reach investors more easily. This is on the basis of reasonable belief that the investor is a self-certified High Net Worth Individual or a self-certified Sophisticated Investor.

To comply with financial services legislation and to ensure commercial confidentiality, the sign-up process will include the need to self-certify as either a sophisticated investor, High Net Worth Individual (HNWI), or Professional Investor. All investments should be carefully considered, and capital is at risk.
