Financing tools are pivotal for direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, offering solutions to manage and secure funding for their business operations. These tools range from platforms that facilitate access to loans and credit lines to those providing invoice financing and crowdfunding options. They assist in managing cash flow, investing in growth opportunities, and covering operational expenses.
