GBDishonest Dishonest, horrible business. They recently deleted their "cancelled co-ops" page, so you can't see how many (very, very many) co-ops have gone belly-up. They delete critical comments from their page and restrict negative commenters from ever leaving comments again. Worst of all, they do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when a company fails. They send it to collections and forget about it. They don't sue the company or take any action to recover your money. Beware! Run far, far away from this shady business.

GBWe met Kickfurther representatives at Expo East We met Kickfurther representatives at the Expo East Gourmet Food Show about a month ago. We manufacture and sell high end sea salt with a variety of blends and infusions. We were able to receive funding at very reasonable terms for much needed inventory purchases for the holiday season. There consignment formula is a great way to grow your business compared to traditional bank and finance companies. The process goes very smoothly with a Kickfurther representative that helps to at each step. We are looking forward to working with Kickfurther on many more co-ops.

GBKickstart Your Business Growth with Kickfurther! I'm Pavan, the co-founder of Houndsy, and diving into Kickfurther was like finding a goldmine for us. Their 'Inventory now, pay later' motto is a lifesaver, especially before the hectic holiday season. They covered 100% of our inventory costs at great rates, and the best part? We'll only pay them back after our sales period. It's a stress-buster not worrying about stockouts anymore. A big shoutout to Matt Hughes, their Sales Manager! He wasn't just about business; he got to know Houndsy and worked out how Kickfurther could help us grow. His 24/7 availability, whether via text, call or email, was beyond impressive. He’s the reason we chose Kickfurther over others and why we’ll stick around. Kickfurther is more than just a financing platform to us, it’s a partner in our growth story. If you're a hard goods entrepreneur looking to scale up without the financial headaches, Kickfurther is your go-to!

GB100% loss of funds if companies don't pay. First few investments were great; dump some cash, wait a few months, pocket the interest, rinse & repeat. Except when some Kickfurthers paid zero - nothing - and then the final payment date passes. Your investment cycle is broken, your cash in limbo for who knows how long (if you're even getting it back). There are mechanisms for Kickfurther to cancel co-ops and obtain merchandise (if the merchant responds). There are mechanisms to settle for lower repayments (if the investors agree). There are also many many many ways a company that took a loan from Kickfurther can effectively ignore them while still raking in sales. Kickfurther doesn't send debt collectors, file lawsuits, seize collateral. The burden falls onto you, the investor, to sit it out and plead for the company to repay.
