POV: You just received $50,000 to fund your brand.
Most people immediately think:
“Time to spend.”
Smart founders think:
“What’s my risk?”
Let’s break it down.
Example:
Monthly payment: $500
Shirt price: $100
You need to sell 5 shirts every month just to cover the payment.
But that’s not your real break-even.
Now factor in inventory cost.
If your product order costs $1,000, that also needs to be recovered.
So your real calculation includes:
• Monthly payment
• Product cost
• Sales price
Inventory suppliers might give you time to pay in full.
But your credit payment is due every month.
That’s why understanding risk and break-even is critical before leveraging funding.
Once you pass break-even…
Don’t pull the profit immediately.
Reinvest it back into the brand — marketing, inventory, and growth.
That’s how you maintain a business, not just start one.
