Perfiliate
Eight years on and the BIG investment in Perfiliate (sold for an undisclosed sum as Buy.at to AOL in February 2008) remains the group’s most successful syndicated investment ever. The BIG investors took the plunge into an uncertain dotcom marketplace in 2000 and have reaped the returns!

Profile Analysis
The Business Investors Group (BiG) has been behind me and my i-snapshot team since its sales-management package was a twinkle in my eye two years ago. Since then, BiG investors have seen their initial investment of £200k reap the rewards of growth and a second chance to invest.
