Would anyone like a free factory for a year?
18th February 2009
An interesting example of an entrepreneur who wants to reduce his fixed costs by offering his product for free…
Here is the video:

Interesting comment about fixed costs.
“There are fixed costs involved in owning this building empty”. Presumably this refers to the landlord’s extra costs - e.g. site security, maintenance, promotion.
So the loss of potential rent £150,000 per year is worthwhile - if only to see the factory occupied by another manufacturer.
Great idea
