Background
| M |
The business angels concept arrived to Spain in 2001. Since then, the number of networks has been growing day by day.
ESBAN (Spanish business angels network) was founded in 2004, involving the partnership of several BANs. Its is the national federation of networks in the country. The aim was to promote the business angels concept, to develop business angels networks and to cooperate with the public administration when developing the best legal framework for the business angels.
In 2006, Esban got the support of the General Direction of the SME from the Spanish government, member of the patronage of the foundation.
The following networks are members of ESBAN:
BANC
ABANT
BANG
BANCO Rioja
BAN CLM Under construction
CEEI Baleares Under construction
Creama Under construction

The other networks are not affiliated.

BAN Legal Status
ESBAN is the national business angels network. It is a private foundation made up by several business angels networks together with the Ministry of Industry. The other joint networks are usually non profit organisations promoted both by public and private institutions.
ESBAN is funded by CECOT Innovacio.
Lobbying
In 2005 ESBAN participated in several business forums for the SME and organised two workshops (July and September) with the objective of providing the networks managers with the keys to develop their network.
On the other hand, ESBAN is working to improve the financial framework for the business angels. A proposal was passed in the Spanish parliament, in this way, the Spanish government took the compromise of studying the best regulation for the business angels market, similar to the venture capital.
Furthermore, ESBAN and the Spanish government are working on a pilot program to promote the networks in Spain. This program includes financial aids for the networks as well as a communication plan to spread the business angels concept as the best way of financing a project.
