GBSmooth transaction Smooth transaction. I sought inventory funding to grow our product selection. They vetted my business fairly thoroughly, more than I expected, but fairly straightforward paperwork we keep. The transaction funded quickly. We are not yet through the payment phase, but we hope to use again in the future when the needs arises.

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!

KRGreat when it's good; terrible when it's bad. I've been investing with Kickfurther for several years. When co-ops are successful, it works well, and I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately, all too often co-ops fail, and it's then that I'm really disappointed with the KF process. When things go to collections, a tiny fraction - if anything - is ever recouped. Of course it's an investment, and there's a certain level of risk. However, I do not feel that KF does enough to support buyers when things go wrong. I have never heard of their legal team getting involved although co-ops often have a personal guarantee, and it seems like the case should be litigated. I've definitely made money through KF, but I've also lost more than I care to admit. Bottom line: proceed with caution.

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.

GBKickfurther is the best inventory… Kickfurther is the best inventory financing solution for small to medium sized brands. They have great rates and are very legit. We applied a few times before making it through the entire process. Their process ensures that both the brand and backers are well vetted and will be successful.
