Most media have published or broadcast pieces on Business Angels and BANs. Business angels are becoming increasingly publicised as a form of funding for small businesses in the UK. This is mainly though television programs such as Dragons Den. The BBAA continues to increase the awareness of business angels through the national press. BBAA tracks all press coverage on the subject of Business Angels and believes that they are mentioned on a daily basis in some form in the media; either in the context of Dragons Den on the television, in business or entrepreneurial press or in the national or regional papers.
BBAA also publishes its own brochure, directory and reports focusing on the early stage investment market and the role of business angels.
