P2P Boating Enterprise Board A Boat Seeks To Raise 90K Through Crowdfunding Platform
Established UK peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace 'Board a Boat' has announced today that it has now launched a Crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs.com platform. The company is seeking to raise £90,000 in order to support its team growth plans, allowing them to expand into Europe within the next 12 months.
'Board a Boat' is the UK’s first social P2P boating marketplace and aims to revolutionise the leisure boating industry. The service connects boat owners with people looking to hire a boat and provides boat owners with the opportunity to earn money by chartering their boats to pre-screened users, alleviating hefty marina and maintenance costs. Unlike traditional chartering methods, 'Board a Boat' acts as a paying agent for boat owners, thus minimising overheads.
The unique P2P boating marketplace provides boat owners with a comprehensive service, including an availability calendar, secure payment system and commercial insurance for total peace of mind.
Frank Sykes, founder of Board a Boat commented: “Board a Boat is a new and easy way to experience boating and the P2P online marketplace format makes sense for this niche market. Boats are hugely underused both nationally and internationally, whilst the P2P model is proven to be sustainable and allows for huge growth potential.”
Mr Sykes continued “Board a Boat was launched in the UK market during 2013 and after a successful first year, it makes sense for us to strengthen our team in order to support our growth. Our vision is to be the number one online destination to allow more people get out and enjoy the water”.
'Board a Boat' are currently looking for investors with a desire to get behind a currently untapped European market. The company are encouraging those with an interest in investing in a rapidly expanding organisation to visit the Crowdfunding campaign page and discover how 'Board a Boat' is looking to drive forward their business globally.
