Are you looking for an honest fact-based review about Kabbage and what it really is? It may appear that this is a company that is doing something new or different because it is outside of the banking realm and has its own app. However, chances are that you have seen a company of this type each time you go to do grocery shopping. Are you surprised to hear that there are businesses like Kabbage that have been sitting in your neighborhood for decades? If you are interested in learning more about the style Kabbage and other short-term loan establishments use, a brief outline has been listed below.

What is Kabbage?


Lately, since horse racing is slow in the summer, I have been focusing on website writing for a company that gives businesses credit without using property as a collateral. I was surprised to see that Kabbage was also using a similar method to give small businesses cash upfront within minutes. No credit report is needed, and you do not need to wait for weeks as you do with the bank. Is it really so simple? Not exactly.


How does Kabbage work?


The system that Kabbage uses is similar to the way a payday loan business operates. Basically, payday loans use collateral based on your income history and habits. When this style of financing excludes paychecks and includes small business owners, they are commonly referred to as factoring companies or accounts receivable financing businesses. In some cases, they will use your bank statements, paycheck stubs, or outstanding invoices to give you a short-term loan with variable interest rates (some tout a 3% interest rate). Obviously, Kabbage is using a similar system to cash for titles, payday loans, and factoring companies by requesting to review your PayPal account history information.


How can I use Kabbage to my advantage?


Are you looking for a way to get money together for supplies for your next client? On the other hand, you may be a shop owner that needs to increase inventory for the holidays. Instead of waiting around for the cash to come in the door, consider using a factoring service that can give you cash flow for your fixed overhead. One of the best ways to use a short-term loan is to actually only use it in the short-term. This will help you to avoid higher long-term interest rates.


Main benefit of using short-term loans


The main reason that a business like Kabbage will appeal to most people is because it does not require a credit report like the bank does. A bad credit rating is the main barrier for small business owners approaching a bank for a line of credit or a short-term loan. Having a business that does not have actual property can also be an issue for approaching a bank for a business loan. For example, web-based IT and web design companies have a difficult time accessing loans from a bank because they have no physical retail location.

While most short-term lenders that do not use property as collateral will not improve your credit score, paying your bills on time with the money that you borrow will. For all of these reasons, you can put your anxiety about having a terrible credit rating behind you. With a company that specializes in factoring or accounts receivable financing such as Kabbage, you can start building your business future.
