Freemium is free with paid advanced features... what do you call companies offering free products. Foursquare (until recently) for example


It is still a business, it just has no profit's to submit to the country it resides in's Company House.

Remember it still has operating costs, asset's and liabilities and they all have to be declared. The only way it isn't is if it is a charity or if it is dormant, but that is only if it does 0 trade.


The next big thing? ;) Remember, Google once had no revenue stream.


Ad supported service providers.


Social?

VC bait?

Not economically viable?
