FlatFurnish does not only help newly settled to rent furniture but it also has other appliances, fitness products and also offers packages according to the size of the place. Instead of renting a furnished flat, people can now choose to get an unfurnished one and rent the furniture and appliances too.
They’re a marketplace where vendors manufacture designs for the company and the payment is made on a monthly basis. The company follows in-house designing of products to make sure that the products being manufactured are durable and their quality is maintained over a period of time.
On the business model, Jeetesh stated that renting makes sense because there is a huge price gap in the rent of furnished and unfurnished apartments.
