Sallyport Commercial Finance provided a $1 million facility to a premium denim brand located in Los Angeles that focuses on the women’s plus size market of sizes 12-24. This particular market is largely underserved in the premium denim market as most premium denim brands have a focus on sizes 0-12.

The concept was created in 2015 and was officially rolled out this year. The owners, who have a number of other businesses in this sector focused on specific demographics, have used their connections in the retail world to quickly ramp up sales. Its primary revenue stream has been with big box retailers such as Nordstrom’s, Saks 5th Ave. and Bloomingdales.

With Sallyport’s help, the business will be able to speed up payments to overseas manufacturers to ensure customer requirements are achieved, as well as cover the general operating expenses. This business is currently self-funded, so an immediate positive impact was seen in terms of a cash flow benefit to the business.
