The Situation

A Charlotte, NC–based health related apparel company has developed innovative products and quickly scaled in the market.   
 As demand increased, the business faced the challenge of funding large production runs and covering operating expenses while waiting on extended payment terms from major, creditworthy customers. Having prior experience with factoring, the owner sought a trusted, local lender to provide reliable working capital support. 

The Solution

The company connected with SouthStar Capital to explore business funding options. SouthStar structured a $1.5 million Invoice Factoring facility, beginning with an initial funding round of approximately $500,000 against delivered product invoices to large, established customers. 

The Result

With SouthStar’s factoring facility in place, the company is now able to:  

  • Unlock cash tied up in receivables to fund production and operations.  
  • Confidently fulfill large orders for national retailers and distributors. 
  • Focus on expanding its product lines and strengthening its position in the healthcare and wellness market. 

By bridging the gap between production and customer payments, SouthStar Capital ensured the company could maintain growth momentum without disruption. This facility reflects SouthStar’s commitment to delivering tailored, relationship-driven financing solutions to innovative businesses across the Carolinas and beyond.
