ITS EASIER NOW!

FABRIC offers dozens of new services and a dedicated expert for your brand.

 

Starting an apparel brand is hard. Not only are you dealing with the standard business startup steps like business licenses, business plans, accounting, legal, logo, website, insurance, and more; but manufacturing apparel comes with its own complexities that take a lot of knowlege and requires a lot of steps. Many brand owners can't navigate these complexities and fail to ever launch. We've always tried to offer consulting and education to manage all of this, but sometimes its just easier to hire an expert.

You can now hire OUR expert to keep you moving along the steps. We also offer packages for each of these steps and we have created a step-by-step list on our website so you always know whats next.


Below we've provided you with a helpful list of steps that any apprel entrepreneur would need to navigate. Click on each step for an expanded list of detailed steps to stay on track. Then learn how to manage each step yourself or hire the expert to help you.

If you're just starting, if you're half way through, or if you've given up because it was too hard, we have a solution for you!
