Working Capital for Toys, Games & Juvenile Products shops
Cover the gap between orders and cash. We match toys, games & juvenile products manufacturers with the working capital structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why toys, games & juvenile products shops choose working capital
You're placing tooling orders in February for a toy that has to be on a Target or Walmart shelf by September, testing it to CPSIA and ASTM F963 standards along the way, and hoping the buyer's forecast holds. By the time the PO turns into cash, half the year is gone and the next year's line is already in development.
Then the retailer takes their cut on the back end — chargebacks for late ship windows, damaged freight, markdown allowances, co-op advertising fees — and what hits your bank account is meaningfully less than the invoice said. Meanwhile your factory in Vietnam, Mexico, or right here in the US wants deposits before they'll cut a single mold.
Working Capital is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Short-term capital to bridge payroll, materials, and growth spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — working capital is one of the programs we most commonly place for toys, games & juvenile products shops. Manufacturers who need fast, flexible short-term capital to smooth cash flow or fund a specific opportunity. Full mechanics: the Working Capital program page. Sector overview: Toys, Games & Juvenile Products.
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. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. PO financing typically funds production and testing costs together since both are required before goods can legally ship. Lenders that work this sector expect CPSIA and ASTM F963 lab fees as a normal line item in the funding request.
Factoring and ABL facilities net anticipated chargebacks — late shipment fees, markdown allowances, co-op ad deductions — against the advance rate or reserve. Lenders familiar with mass retail toy programs build these deductions into underwriting rather than treating them as surprises.
Amounts depend on revenue, time in business, and cash flow. Many manufacturers qualify for lines that scale with their monthly deposits.
- Facilities typically range from $25K to $5M.
- Approval leans on monthly revenue and bank activity more than collateral.
- Lines often scale with your average monthly deposits.
- Most programs want at least 6 months in business.
- If you invoice other businesses on terms, compare against invoice factoring.
- Score your readiness to see what size line your revenue supports.
