1. Business 20.0 http://money.cnn.com/2006/02/28/magazines/business2/angelinvestor/index.htm has a very good article on angel investors, what they typically look for, what kind of investments they support, etc. You may want to go and pitch your ideas where investors gather. Here are some places where angel investors come and those looking for funding can come and pitch their business plans. Be sure to have a strong business plan and describe what makes your business idea stand apart: Angel Capital Association http://www.angelcapitalassociation.org Angel's Forum http://www.angelsforum.com Band of Angels http://www.bandangels.com Common Angels http://www.commonangels.com Keiretsu Forum http://www.k4forum.com Launchpad Venture Group http://www.launchpadventuregroup.com New World Angels http://www.newworldangels.com New York Angels http://www.newyorkangels.com Robin Hood Ventures http://www.robinhoodventures.com (charges $250) Check the Texas chapter of the Angel Capital Association -- though finding an angel investor for a restaurant may be very hard
2. Angel Investors DO NOT invest in restaurants.
3. Here is a site for you to check out. This company has plenty of free information for borrowers. This company has been featured on national TV news casts (not infomercials) and published in several magazines such as Newsweek. This company is where people lend money to other people. http://prosper.com/join/heyhobbs
