Snoop CEO John Natalizia said: “It’s no exaggeration to say that we’re living in extraordinary times and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to accelerate our launch so Snoop can help consumers and households at a time when it may be needed most.”

Snoop aims to on-board three million customers in two years and will earn money from commissions.

Media reports suggest that Snoop has raised £9m for the launch and it hopes to raise more capital later this year.

Commenting on the launch, Gadhia said: “I am delighted to launch a new business in these terrible times.

“We know money is going to be tight for many in the months to come and so we’ve worked flat out to get to market as soon as humanly possible.”
