Why should I work with 8fig?
The long and short of it is, that we’ve been where you are. We felt that cash flow crunch on one hand, and all the inadequate growth solutions on the other. We wanted it all: access to capital, flexibility, convenience, profitability. So we created it.
As an experienced e-Commerce seller, you already know what it takes to succeed in your online store. You’re likely also aware that the growth you’ve seen thus far is the tip of the iceberg. How much could you sell if you didn’t have to constantly worry about cash flow? What kinds of opportunities would lie ahead, if money were no object? Join 8fig and start thinking big.
What is an 8fig Growth Plan?
8fig’s Growth Plans are designed to support experienced eCommerce sellers in their quest to scale rapidly and aggressively. ECommerce is unique among businesses, capable of achieving hyper growth year-over-year in the face of constantly rising demand. Sellers who join 8fig rapidly rein in their supply chain, zero in on their unit economics and gain access to the ultimate win/win solution: virtually unlimited capital, CFO-level management and operations, all without sacrificing equity.
Who is eligible for a Growth Plan?
8fig Growth Plans are designed specifically with e-Commerce sellers in mind. If you own and operate a successful online store on Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, eBay or WixStores with revenue exceeding $100,000 in the last year, or monthly revenue exceeding $8,500 in the last 3 months, odds are 8fig can help you take your operations, and most importantly your revenue, to the next level.
Does 8fig charge money for its services?
8fig Growth Plans are designed first and foremost to ensure that the hyper growth that lies ahead does not negatively impact the business operations nor bottom line. To do this, 8fig makes use of artificial intelligence and other technology to assess the risk of each Growth Plan. This risk boils down to the cost of capital, a single figure which clearly and transparently represents 8fig’s charge for each Growth Plan.
Which eCommerce platforms does 8fig support?
We work with experienced private label and wholesale sellers on Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart and other popular online marketplaces.

Participation is 8fig’s way of ensuring that sellers who work with us also share some of the risk and responsibility for their Growth Plan’s ultimate success. Usually 8fig will ask the seller to participate in their growth plan by contributing 10-20% of supply chain costs.
