Small Businesses Don't Need Banks - They Need YOU!

A successful business begins with an idea: like MMLocal's locally sourced hot pepper sauce, Nava Pets' all-natural pet care products, or Teadora's organic salt scrub. But, as brands grow, they face a dilemma of scaling their business to the next level. Traditionally, banks helped finance this growth. But today, banks are turning more and more entrepreneurs and businesses away. In 2014, the 10 largest banks lent nearly 40 percent less than just six years earlier.

Instead of waiting for banks to set things right, thousands of people at Kickfurther have learned they can earn money while supporting small businesses directly, so everyone wins without the banks in the picture.

Using crowdfunding on Kickfurther, individuals can partner directly with growing brands and earn alongside their favorite brands with as little as $20. Since early 2015, the community has earned more than $7.25 million by supporting growing businesses.

Just like platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, our community supports the brands they love by contributing to them, but instead of receiving a physical reward for their support, they earn profit alongside the brand!

It's time to take power back from the banks and put it in the hands of creative entrepreneurs and their supporters. Add your name to join the movement toward community-powered business and see how you can contribute to help remove the banks from the equation.
