I order $400,000 of goods from you.  You have to make and deliver those goods to me, and I pay you 30 days after you invoiced me.<p>Your challenge is to come up with $X00,000 of funding at a time when it&#x27;s tricky to get loans.<p>Your other challenge is to either hope your current suppliers can suddenly increase their capacity, or that you can find a supplier who can fill your demand.<p>If you&#x27;re making the product you need to employ and train extra staff, and hope they fit in whatever building you have.<p>And you need place to store raw material, product being built, and built product ready for shipping.
