Can anyone teach me how to find investors who are willing to fork out capital for me to start a business? I will be able to fork out some money too but i need capital for two major equipments. Are there any places where i can find these angel investors?

Yes, these places are called banks. If you've got collateral, they'll give you loans.

jp but banks aren't considered investors, that is considered capital, it's not the same, plus if you want any chance at seeing a government grant for starting a business you need 30 % singaporean investment, or at least that's what I have read, myself I am looking for investors as well and would like to find a site that helps, witht he angels that they list on the government website.

I'd like to draw your attention to our original rather confused poster, who was looking for, and I quote, "investors who are willing to fork out capital".

In that case have you think of going into other field of business for eg engineering?
