4. I already have everything ready. Can you just tell me some factories to work with?While we love to support new businesses in many other ways, we are unable to disclose our partners to non-clients. This is due to the nature of our business, legal concerns, and protecting our partnerships. Additionally, we bring in a lot more experience in dealing with factories in technical terms, so our clients get to experience a smooth hassle-free process, something that might not happen if clients are dealing directly in the production process without sufficient experience.

3. How much does it cost to start a brand and get product?Including the costs of design, branding, sample development, and bulk production, can cost anywhere from USD 12,500 to USD 31,500 PLUS depending on the type of garments, quality, quantity, finish and packaging. Factories that will produce for you have their minimum order volume for each style and total order size, based on what kind of products you're looking to make, and where! A good rule of thumb is to take whatever you plan on spending for product and multiply by 2.5 to get the rest of the estimated budget. Your marketing should be nearly the same as what you spend on products since you need to consider the cost of acquiring your customers.
