"It wasn't just the banks that said no," laments Partkatmyhouse
founder Anthony Eskinazi - in 2006, he walked empty-handed out of
the Dragons' Den, too. It was the Dragons' loss, though - since its
launch, Parkatmyhouse, which allows those who have spare parking
space to post it online. If you're looking for cheap parking -
before a concert, for example - just browse through the thousands
of spaces available all over the country, book one, and go. In 2007
the business was nominated by Yahoo! as one of the most innovative
websites of 2007, and Eskinazi even boasts the website is used 'by
some MPs'. A useful source of income, we suspect, if the second
home allowance is scrapped.
- Defined a new marketplace
- Offers parking space owners incentives to make recurring
bookings through them
- Provides dispute mediation and fraud protection for
drivers
