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.

GBGreat Concept Effective way to support small and growing businesses while earning a profit on your spare cash. Excellent rates of return available for most deals. Kickfurther has really hit its stride in ensuring that it only puts on the platform top notch businesses with very little chance of default. Superb customer service as well.

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.

GBKickfurther has been great for us Kickfurther has been a great inventory financing solution for our established, fast-growing business. We've completed three campaigns over the last 16 months and now planning our fourth. The rates are fair. The team is very professional and responsive. Best of all they are super easy to work with. Our team is very satisfied and we highly recommend other legit entrepreneurs look into using Kickfurther.

GBI honestly thought the concept and… I honestly thought the concept and terms were too good to be true after my intial call! The process was very easy to implement from start to finish. Kickfurther is a solution all companies of all sizes should collectively leverage as a very real solution for every day inventory, new product launches or any special projects.
