Apparel brand funds a department-store program

Apparel scenario

Apparel brand funds a department-store program

Challenge
An overseas mill required a deposit before cutting, months before the retailer's net-90 invoice would pay.
Solution
PO financing issued a letter of credit to the mill, then converted to factoring on shipment.
Outcome
The season shipped complete and the brand kept its retail slot.
