Using Kabbage Insights
“The tool is now available to any U.S. small business ,” he writes explaining the need
“With the launch, Kabbage addresses one of the biggest problems faced by small business owners. Studies show that 91% of small business owners spend as many as 20 hours per week calculating cash flow.”
Leveling the Playing Field
This product is another way innovation levels the playing field. Insights continually evaluates a customer’s transactions over 90 days. However, that doesn’t mean it is difficult to use.
“The product organizes data in an easy-to-understand dashboard. It allows customers to quickly visualize their net growth without taking the time to calculate it themselves.”
It only takes minutes for small businesses to connect to the real-time business data and get immediate numbers for their cash flow. Quickly get daily performance numbers and the kind of customized insights to plan ahead and borrow more strategically.
On the other hand, you can cut back where you need to using the data.

“When paired with the Kabbage Small Business Revenue Index, Kabbage Insights allows small businesses to compare their company’s performance to similarly-sized businesses operating in their state and industry.”
The mobile dashboard lets you keep an eye your money wherever you are. The new product is available and built for any small businesses. At the same time, it works well in many industries.
