I don't understand why you couldn't just start selling it, considering:

* It could save developers many thousands of dollars.

* There's presumably a big market for it.

* The product is apparently already built and would be difficult for someone to clone.

It will be a lot more attractive to investors if you already have revenue and a plan to scale it. Especially in EU/UK.

We have revenue and we are doing exactly that, but now I compare it to something like a 'half product' where we sell it and spend 1-2 weeks 'tweaking' it. We have a great roadmap which would not only allow us to sell this online but, coming from this, introduce a number of products, partner programs and services. This is all not possible without taking a big step for the product technically, branding wise and marketing wise.

Edit: but yes, if we cannot get a partner / funding partner, we definitely will take a small part of the roadmap and turn that into a niche product.
