    I used to do research for a company that provided angel funding. Depending on the risk involved they looked for a minimum fivefold potential return, rising to a potential tenfold for riskier ventures.

    The criteria they looked for was a business that would be in profit within 12 months and be ready to float within 5 years. They would expect an initial return within 2 years over and above the figures already quoted.

    Even at that 1 business in every 5 that they backed they ended up losing money, and only 1 in 5 gave them the full anticipated return.
