Frequently asked questions
about financing for apparel

What is apparel financing?

Apparel financing provides working capital to fashion brands, manufacturers, and wholesalers to support production, inventory purchases, supplier payments, and order fulfillment. It helps bridge the gap between design, manufacturing, and payment from retailers or customers.

Who is eligible for apparel financing?

We work with a wide range of apparel businesses—including DTC brands, wholesale suppliers, private label manufacturers, and emerging designers. Eligibility is typically based on revenue, customer orders, and your supply chain cycle.

Why do apparel brands need financing?

Apparel businesses often face long production lead times, upfront supplier costs, and delayed payments from retailers. Financing helps maintain consistent cash flow, fund growth, and avoid disruptions during peak seasons or collection launches.

What can I use the financing for?

You can use financing to:

  • Purchase fabric and raw materials

  • Pay manufacturers or factories

  • Cover design and production costs

  • Fulfill large wholesale or retailer orders

  • Manage inventory ahead of seasonal launches

  • Fund marketing and go-to-market campaigns

Will this help with seasonality?

Yes. Financing smooths out cash flow during slower months and ensures you have working capital on hand when preparing for seasonal demand spikes.

Do I need to give up equity to access financing?

No. Most apparel financing solutions are non-dilutive and structured around your sales orders or receivables, so you retain full ownership.

Can I get financing if I’m a newer brand?

Yes. Even early-stage brands may qualify if they have confirmed purchase orders, strong eCommerce sales, or consistent retail partnerships.

Will this financing affect my supplier or customer relationships?

Financing supports—not disrupts—your relationships by helping you pay suppliers on time and fulfill retailer orders efficiently.

Will you help me assess which financing solution is right for my business?

Yes. Our team will work closely with you to evaluate your production timelines, sales channels, and growth plans to recommend the right financing structure.
