Looking to Invest

[Shaun619]

Good morning all

I find myself in a position where I am looking for the right business to invest some money in. Please get in contact with any advise or ideas.

Thanks

Ah the right business.

How do you feel about investing in a farm? I know a nice little office block, 7 floors and its got a small car park.

Prepare yourself for a wave of 'opportunities' including MLM, franchises (bad ones!) and flakey start-ups.

It would help if you could clarify whether you are looking to be silent or active, and what areas particularly interest you.

You have done yourself up like a kipper with this post
The whole of the internet will spam you now for the next five years

The idea I had for a business was firstly I buy myself a Range Rover.
Then just enjoy it.

Are you in?

Looking to invest £5? Or £5m?

If you're coy with providing numbers you'll make for a crap investor (in terms of attracting the right deals).

You asked for advice.

Advice: Decide your brief - amount you want to invest, sector preferences, geographical location, attributes the business needs to have etc etc. And make that brief public. Or hire a buy-side broker.

There's a big difference between a £100K distressed marketing firm in Devon and a £10m Aberdeen based parts supplier to oil industry. Decide what you really want before you go looking for it. And what you can afford.
