RESEARCHING A NEW CLOTHING LINE |

Funding Clothing Startups
As a startup you are acutely aware of how difficult it can be to fund a new
operation. Even with the best of business plans it is difficult to secure bank
financing without pledging personal assets. Assistance can sometimes be found
at
the state or local level through business incubators or economic development
funds.
At Style Source, we are often asked how much it costs to start up an apparel
business. This is a difficult question to answer, as the product itself may range
from a dollar a
unit to upwards of $30 or more. Our experience with dozens of startups provide
us with a general guideline of $6,000-$15,000 per style for mid-priced
apparel at a minimum order level. Keep in mind that this amount is for product
only and that you will need ongoing funds for operational expenses.
For all custom orders Style Source requires a 50% deposit upon order placement.
The balance of this payment may be applied with credit card (MasterCard, Visa,
Discover), COD, or pre-payment when ready.
