Founded by Alex Chesterman, who previously founded LoveFilm and Zoopla, Cazoo provides an online platform which enables people to purchase a used car entirely online and have it delivered in 72 hours. The company owns and fully reconditions all its cars before offering them for sale and delivering them free to customers in a two-hour delivery slot. Every car comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee, free comprehensive 90-day warranty and roadside assistance. Buyers can purchase or finance one of the thousands of cars online as well as getting an instant offer for any part exchange. Since launch in December, Cazoo has already served thousands of customers, delivering cars to them across every region of the UK and has generated over £20 million in revenues in its first 3 months.
