Abstract: Abstract Since 2008 there has been a steady decrease in the number of loans granted to families and companies. This decrease has significantly affected the birth of new business projects, and has led newly created companies to seek funding from the stock market to support and to develop their initiatives. One stock market financing alternative that has grown considerably in recent years is the Business Angels. Not only do they provide capital to new business projects, but also knowledge, professional and business contacts and confidence. This paper examines the profile of the projects in which the Business Angels are investing, as well as their role in supporting and providing an impetus to new initiatives that contribute to generating wealth and employment.
