Great communication, solid way to get quick injection of capital. Even better, if you can't make your payments, you can propose a settlement and possibly walk away with a zero% interest loan! Any fraud investigation goes to Kickfurther and not your actual company.

UI is great. However would like the company to strictly manage each coops. As an investor, ROI is what is the most important after all.

Kickfurther has created a simple way to support small businesses in a consignment fashion. Many of my co-ops have gone off without a hitch. However, many have also defaulted, and although there are "personal guarantees", it seems (from the buyer's side) as though nothing is done to enforce those. I have co-ops that have been in collections for over a year with absolutely no progress, which is frustrating. On the Kickfurther website, it states, "the collection agency may decide to close the account if recovery does not seem likely". Despite safeguards, there's definitely a chance (and it has been my experience) that you simply don't get any of your money back. It's more risky than it might appear at first glance, but if you can pick reliable companies, it can be a positive experience.

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.

Kickfurther is an interesting concept and they are fine tuning their execution. There have been numerous poor to non-performing deals in early 2016. Certainly some gems as well, but even making 10% over 6 months....just one total loss wipes about 10 good deals, just to break-even. KFs ability to weed out poor deals and litigate the numerous deals that are non-performing to recovery something will determine their long term viability. For all the deals I have been invested for at least 5 months, I will says 25-30% are troubled in some way. Some may not pay at all and some it looks like will pay back the full amount, albeit late.

A nice concept It would be better if kickfurther was more involved in the inventory investing part rather than concentrating on making money from the service. There seems to be a disconnect when companies do not pay and kickfurther is not concerned with inventory recovery because they are not financially invested in the products they offer

The product is supposed to finance inventory, but on multiple occasions, the partners have used funds for other purposes. I understand the business/sales risk we are taking, but I think Kickfurther needs to do a better job ensuring the funds are applied appropriately.

Ok, but the website should list more complete data.
