  5. Circle Economy PAAS Question Kit 2020

Are you a Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) entrepreneur with a circular business proposition in need for finance? Are you a financier willing to invest in PaaS? Then this PaaS Question Kit can help you to be either best prepared for a financial interview or to perform a financial assessment. The questions narrow the knowledge gap between PaaS entrepreneurs and financiers. Let’s accelerate the transition to a circular economy together!

In a PaaS circular supply chain the role of the retail/sales company is replaced by a service provider. Instead of paying for ownership of a product, the customer pays for access to the product and for the additional services provided in return for a recurring service fee. In contrast to a for-sale business model the service providers retain ownership of the products and are therefore incentivised to create value by offering high-quality, durable products that can be easily upgraded, repaired, refurbished and/or taken back at the end of their useful life.
