The Hedaya Capital Group provided a $350,000 factoring facility to a children’s accessories, toys and activewear company to support a renewed importing focus. The company sells to specialty beach stores as well as major off-price retailers such as Burlington and TJ Maxx.
In 2022, the company began importing its own products, developed by the founder’s wife and targeted to young girls, under a proprietary brand. However, growing tariff uncertainty caused the company to pause imports, cancel orders and put the business on hiatus in 2025.
Given this year’s steadier supply chain and tariff assurance, the owner is re-establishing the business and beginning to import product from China once again. Needing working capital to rebuild inventory, a mutual friend in the industry introduced the company owner to Hedaya Capital’s senior advisor Louis Barone.
“We were impressed with this company’s product focus and the founder’s story, and we’re happy to provide assistance with its reboot,” Barone said. “Providing steady cash flow will be key for this company as they navigate overseas supply chain challenges, global economic uncertainty and new tariff laws.”
The new facility will enable the company to leverage accounts receivable for continued import inventory purchases to provide new products to its retail outlets. Backed by Hedaya’s funding, the company is well-positioned for future growth and is projecting $1 million in sales for 2026.
