About
Kickfurther addresses the inventory cash flow problem faced by many fast growing consumer Brands that must provide ever increasing amounts of capital caused by the time duration between buying inventory to manufacture products and the generation of cash revenue upon selling the product (ie, the working capital cycle). Kickfurther’s marketplace matches Brands that need capital to purchase inventory with a community of Buyers who are willing to purchase inventory on consignment in exchange for a participation in the profits upon sale.
