Helping an Australian Fashion brand finance production with a Small Business Export Loan

After beginning as a wholesale business with an international agency, this Australian Fashion brand changed its business model in 2012 to become a fully Australian vertical retail business. In just over a decade, the company has grown its retail presence locally from one store in Noosa, Queensland to more than 20 stores across Australia, including an online platform.
 

They now have a bricks and mortar store in New Zealand, and an international wholesale business in addition to its multi-site retail presence in Australia.
 

The company’s outstanding reputation meant the brand was also successful in getting high-end international retailers like Nordstrom, Moda Operandi and Harvey Nichols to stock its range. However, to meet these overseas orders, they needed to pay for the production of all its garments upfront – negatively impacting cash flow on their Australian business.
 

This company reached out to Export Finance Australia to help finance its international production invoices.
 

Export Finance Australia provided them with an AUD$350,000 Small Business Export Loan to ensure the cash flow of its Australian business was uninterrupted and they could fulfil their export orders. This enabled them to strengthen relationships with existing buyers and reach new customers in the USA, UK and Asia.
