Entrepreneur Application

Please answer each question fully so that we can effectively evaluate your company application for equity funding.

If you have applied to Henley Business Angels previously, on this platform or others, you must use a different email address than that which you used previously. Failure to do so will prevent HBA from being able to access your new application.

This application does not have to be completed in one attempt – it can be saved and returned to at any time in your account. You will, however, need to submit an application to create an account. See below for these instructions.

*IMPORTANT: if you would like to save your application and come back to it, you will need to put an answer in each box as all questions are required. This can be as simple as a letter or ‘pending’. For the file uploads, please upload ‘holding’ documents (e.g. blank Word documents) that can then be deleted and replaced later. Your application must be complete at the time of the deadline.
