This Member Code of Conduct is specifically for non-investor members. Violations of the code may result in your membership with UKBAA being terminated as per our Complaints Procedure.
The codes UKBAA members must adhere to are outlined below:
Code One – Best Practice
In adhering to best practices, members are expected to uphold professionalism, avoid practices detrimental to the image of the business angel market, and maintain ethical standards. UKBAA members should ensure fair and honest dealings with all parties. We expect all UKBAA members to prominently display the UK Business Angels Association Logo where suitable (e.g. website, social media, letterhead) and state they have signed up to the UKBAA Member Code of Conduct. Members must also meet the specified Membership Criteria.
Code Two – Keeping your Directory Profile and contact information up-to-date
It is the responsibility of organisation members to keep their Member Directory profile on the UKBAA website up-to-date. You should contact us immediately if your contact details change, or if you need to update the contact details you supplied during your onboarding.

Members are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct, which may be modified periodically by the Disciplinary and Membership Committee as outlined in the Articles of Association.
