Hi
There are several business Angel networks who can provide added value service such as ensuring that you are investment-ready, honing your business plan and setting realistic expectations for both parties.
Generally Angels will invest in businesses in which they have personal knowledge & experience, so targetting can save a lot of time and hassle.
The realisatic aspects of Dragonns Den are:
1. They see lots of proposals, so you have a limited opportunity to impress
2. They are not taken in by random figures and will question your projections
3. They will want a good return on their investment.
Will be happy to intrioducce you to a network if you feel you are investment ready..

Sorry to butt in on this topic, but...
How does one know when one is 'investment ready'? What stage - conception, outline plan, full plan???
Maybe the question should be...
How much of a plan needs to be in place in order to get sufficient interest from an Angel in order to advance the plan to investment stage?

Good question. I would suggest that the first phase of 'investment ready' is when you have a business, as opposed to an idea - ie you have a product, confirmed orders (or at least letters of intent) and some some form of business structure.
Obviously the more eveloved the business, the less equity you will need to give away..
