Forget the banks: Cork winestore’s innovative way to €30,000

Rather than going back to the banks, a Cork-based wine company has secured a loan of €30,000 from its customers’ pockets.

Curious Wines turned to crowd-funding company Linked Finance to secure the funds, in what is the most successful loan bid ever hosted on the site.

Curious Wines managing director, Michael Kane attributed the success of the loan application to their engagement of both existing and potential customers.
