Textile manufacturing — from apparel to industrial fabrics — runs on high-volume machinery, raw material imports, and production cycles that can take months. Between $200K weaving machines, fabric inventory, and the seasonal demand swings in fashion and home goods — textile manufacturers need flexible capital.
This Is Why You're Here
A fashion brand ordered 50,000 yards of custom fabric — $300K contract. Raw fiber costs $90K upfront and the brand pays net-45 after delivery. Your current cash can’t cover both production and ongoing orders.
Your knitting machines need a $35K overhaul. They produce 60% of your output. Every week of downtime costs $20K in delayed orders.
A trade show opportunity could land $500K in new accounts. Booth costs, samples, and travel total $25K. The ROI is clear but the timing is tight.
Your dyeing equipment is producing inconsistent color batches. A $58K upgrade to a computerized dye system would cut your color reject rate from 8% to under 1%. At current volumes, that’s $6,500/month in wasted fabric and re-dye costs.
A military contractor needs 30,000 yards of spec-compliant ripstop fabric — $220K contract. You need $65K in specialty nylon yarn upfront and your supplier requires prepayment because the fiber is a custom blend. The contract pays net-60 after mil-spec inspection.
A fashion brand ordered 15,000 yards of custom-dyed fabric — $220K in raw fiber and dye costs before we'd see a penny. Basecamp got us invoice factoring set up in 3 days. We delivered on time.

Built for Your Business
A 50,000-yard custom fabric order needs $90K in raw fiber and specialty dyes upfront. The fashion brand pays net-45. We bridge that gap so your looms keep running while you wait for payment.
Cotton from Egypt, silk from China, specialty yarns from Italy — international suppliers want payment upfront. Our lenders fund import purchases and raw material orders so lead times don't stall production.
Fashion is seasonal. Home textiles spike before holidays. Industrial fabrics follow construction cycles. Banks see revenue dips and panic. Our lenders understand textile production cycles and fund around them.
Your knitting machines produce 60% of output. A $35K overhaul isn't optional when every week of downtime costs $20K in delayed orders. We fund equipment repairs in 24-48 hours.

Textile manufacturing has a cash flow problem baked into the business model. A fashion brand orders 50,000 yards of custom-dyed fabric. That's $90K in raw fiber, $30K in specialty dyes, 6 weeks of production, and then the brand pays net-45 after delivery. You're $120K deep before you see a check. And if cotton prices spiked since you quoted the job? That's your problem. Banks don't understand why your account is low during peak production. Our 70+ lenders do.
And the equipment isn't cheap either. Weaving looms, knitting machines, dyeing vats, finishing equipment — a single production line runs $200K-$500K. But here's the thing. A $35K loom overhaul that keeps $20K/week in production running? That's a 30-day payback. Invoice factoring that turns your net-45 fabric invoices into same-day cash? That means you start the next order immediately instead of waiting 6 weeks. One application. 60 seconds. No credit impact.
