The SaaS business model
SaaS businesses go through an intial development phase which is usually cash intensive as resources are needed to develop the produce or solution and the business is pre-revenue.
The business then moves into the revenue phases where sales are made and subscribers are built up. There is a lot of investor interest in this type of business, and Venture Capitalist and Private Equity houses are keen to get involved.

The final phase for a SaaS business is its exit which hopefully brings substantial rewards to its founders and shareholders.
