loan companies

Angel Investor:
An angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor) is an affluent
individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt
or ownership equity.
Angels typically invest their own funds, unlike venture capitalists, who manage the pooled money of
others in a professionally-managed fund. Although typically reflecting the investment judgment of an
individual, the actual entity that provides the funding may be a trust, business, limited liability
company, investment fund, or other vehicle. Angel investments bear extremely high risk and are
usually subject to dilution from future investment rounds.
Example of Angel Investor: Indian Angel Network is first and largest angel group of India.
Registration of firm/ unit in DIC:

no statutory basis. But, registration is beneficial for the enterprise itself because it makes the unit
eligible for availing the benefits given by the Central or State Governments for the promotion of SSIs
The State Directorate or Commissioner of Industries or District Industries Centres (DIC's) are the
concerned authorities for registration of small scale units. This registration is both location specific
and product specific. Like in certain State capitals and metropolitan cities, it is granted to only those
units which are located in the designated industrial areas/estates.
Some of the formalities required to be completed for seeking permanent registration are:
