Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Textile & Apparel Manufacturing shops
Borrow against what you already own. We match textile & apparel manufacturing manufacturers with the asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, 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.

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.
