Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Textile & Apparel Manufacturing shops
Borrow against what you already own. Our team looks for a funding partner with a asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why textile & apparel manufacturing shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
You bought the fabric in March for a fall program that ships in July and gets paid in November. That's the apparel cash cycle in one sentence — and it's why so many good producers run out of cash right before their best quarter.
Retail buyers on net-60 or net-90, big-box POs with punishing on-time delivery windows, seasonal ramps that need working capital months before invoicing, and cut-and-sew payroll that doesn't wait — you know the terrain.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Big-box and major e-commerce retailers are core factoring buyers. Apparel-experienced factors handle their EDI, ASN, routing, and chargeback processes as a matter of course.
PO financing can open letters of credit for overseas mills and CMT (cut-make-trim) contractors, then convert to factoring once the goods ship domestically and invoices are issued.
ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.
