How Kickfurther Helped
Baseball Lifestyle 101, a growing apparel and accessories brand for baseball lovers, was facing challenges common to rapidly expanding businesses: managing cash flow, imperfect inventory levels, and ordering delays. These issues, combined with the lead time between manufacturing and revenue, were constraining their ability to meet increasing customer demand.
Kickfurther provided the perfect solution by funding 100% of their inventory costs across eight funding deals, totaling over $700,000. With Kickfurther’s flexible payment terms, Baseball Lifestyle was able to invest in new product expansion, secure volume order discounts, and lower their cost of goods sold, all without taking on debt or giving up equity. The results were remarkable:
- 190% growth in just 6 months
- Acquired new warehouse space to accommodate increased inventory and staff
- Improved overall profitability, driving their business forward
Kickfurther allowed Baseball Lifestyle to manage their growth effectively while keeping their cash flow strong and their focus on expanding their brand.
Kickfurther was instrumental in helping us meet the growing demand for our products without having to take on debt or give up equity. Their funding model allowed us to expand our inventory, improve profitability, and fuel our growth in a way that other financing options simply couldn't match.
