The Product as a Service (PaaS) business model is poised to change the business world in a big way. There are many traditional industries that are being disrupted by this model. Start-ups, as well as established corporations, are all taking steps to adopt this model.

They can stop making the payment at a short notice and they will not owe the manufacturer any money since they were paying subscription fees and not loan installments.
Given the long list of advantages, it should come as no surprise that a lot of start-up companies are being built around this concept. Some of these companies have already gone on to become unicorns.
