Default Find Function

I am using the following formula to search for a "<" in a cell and then trip
off all text after it is found:

=IF(FIND("<",C11,1)-1,(TRIM(LEFT(C11,FIND("<",C11,1)-1))),C11)

My intention is that if there is no "<", then just return what is in the
cell originally.

It trim part works but if there is no "<" in the cell, then I get a #Value
error.

Any ideas?
