Summary/Abstract: Investment readiness can be briefly defined as a set of factors proving the level of entrepreneur’s readiness to apply for funding of a particular project. Among them the following should be mentioned: applying entity’s understanding and knowledge of their own financial needs, possessing the knowledge about the accessible financial forms and resources, insight into investor’s preferences and competent presentation of a project, that is the ability to answer to informational expectations of an investor. In case of business angels, investment criteria of a potential venture capital investor are extremely important. The aim of this paper is to emphasise the fact that investment readiness may have a significant impact on raising funds from business angels.
