"I'm just a little short on funds..." "It's difficult to get approved by the general screening criteria..." "But I don't want to take out a loan..."
When that happens, try Kashari.
Kashari is a leaseback app for individuals.
You can turn valuable items such as smartphones, game consoles, branded goods, PCs, cameras, watches, and cars into cash without giving them up and continuing to use them.
■Kashari's feature 1
Unique screening criteria that evaluate the "value of the item itself" of your possessions
Therefore, even those who say "It's difficult to get approved by the general screening criteria..." or "I've reached my limit with other fundraising..."
may use it.
(There is a screening process for use, and we cannot accommodate all contract requests.)
■Kashari's feature 2
"Sell" but "keep using"
A new form of fundraising: "Leaseback"
"Leaseback" is a system in which you can sell an item, receive money, and then continue to use it by paying the lease fee.
Kashari is rolling out the leaseback method, which is common in corporate machinery and equipment and private homes, to personal items!
This is also recommended for those who "don't want to use consumer finance companies" or "need money but don't want to give up their things."
