Pie Finance offer a unique solution (international patents pending) to funding business turnaround and start up that's in tune with the credit crunch!
Their global matching, fulfilment and deal structuring platform enables the funding of business start up and turn around from the growing pool of underutilised resources - redundant staff, dormant equipment and facilities, depreciating product stock and service overcapacity - in exchange for deferred payments and profit share. Originally conceived to help unlock the potential of companies by providing funding in the current 'friends and family' space, the solution now has a place helping mainstream businesses aquire the resources required to survive and prosper in the downturn.
