Running an ecommerce brand is stressful enough without worrying about cash flow every single day. They gives us a buffer so we can actually focus on marketing and product development. It is nice having a partner that covers the inventory costs upfront so we aren't scrambling!

I was dreading the financing process
I was dreading the financing process but this was honestly refreshing. W connected our store, got a custom plan and the fund were ready. It let us jump on a new supplier deal without waiting weeks for a bank decision to came through.

There is no worry with the funding…
There is no worry with the funding part. It came in so handy in terms of cash flow during the peak season. However, I have to admit that the process of onboarding is a bit cumbersome. They demanded so many papers and checks being made, it was nearly one week before everything was cleared. When it is installed, it becomes tension free. But be prepared of some headache in the first one.

I like that its not that complicated…
I like that its not that complicated even without me having a finance background. Since i started to use 8fig two months ago It’s made dealing with the money side feel a lot less intimidating.

Practical
they didn't push us into taking more money than we are comfortable with so we went through our margins they were honest about what made sense and what didn't. This gave us trust in the partnership

Easy and Straight Forward Process
I am an Amazon fullfiller, and this was a non-traditional way to get an inventory loan. Like with all loans or any other disbursements, you must read the contract. I understand what I am getting into with the weekly repayments. I was approved for $75,000, which will be disbursed in three separate disbursements over a 3-month period. This works for me as I am not struggling; I just wanted a cushion for the holidays. If you are a struggling e-commerce company, this is not for you. If you have a steady income coming in weekly, this is a reliable source of funds. Like all loans, you have to repay the money. With this one, you have to do it weekly, but in the end, you pay the interest faster. I see the negative reviews online, but in the end, if you could have received a traditional loan, you would have taken that over any company online. I appreciate the fact that 8fig helped me out, and the individuals Mike and Tanner, were great and very communicative throughout the whole process. Always remember to read your contracts and budget accordingly. If you see your sales are slipping, you need to communicate and understand that just like we are small companies, they are a company taking a chance on us. E-commerce stores are not guaranteed. We can be here today, and tomorrow we are out of here. As a small company, I work 7 days a week, not to have to work another job, but I am driven. I appreciate that 8fig gave me a loan, I know what I am getting into. It's just like you know what you get when you fly Spirit Airlines, but you wanted Delta service. The Bottom line is I like 8fig, I appreciate how easy it was and the two people who made the process straightforward. Thanks, 8fig, and I look forward to doing more business.

Does the job
Does the job. We needed to fund a new production run and didn't want to dip into our marketing budget. 8fig made it happen. The website is a little slow sometimes, but the funds land when they are supposed to.

Overall a positive experience
Overall a positive experience. It took a little back and forth to get our plan approved initially, but the support team was patient. It’s a good resource to have when you’re trying to grow without giving up equity. Will likely use them again.
