How do I get up the money to start my clothing line?

I know this is an insane question:

I have a fledgling clothing company. I have the factory on-board to make the products. I have the marketing materials competed, which feature an ex-male model. I have the public relations campaign ready to go - press release written, updated journalist list - targeted to precise markets.

And I am now ready to take item prototypes to the MAGIC show in Vegas. At the show I will very likely walk out with orders for product that I will need to fill immediately.

But I do not have the funds to get the stuff made.

Any advice? Actual advice?

Thank you so much.

Once you get the orders you can use them to get a loan. These loans are not cheap but they allow you to fill the orders, get some money and build a reputation.

Do a search on "PO financing" or "factoring".

Could you provide some additional information?

How many articles of clothing will you need to produce? What is the profit margin?

Are you looking for operating capital in general, or simply some money to produce this one show's orders?
