How this product business works
Agree on one clearly defined uniform and workwear production result with small businesses and professionals with recurring administrative work, including the scope, price, deadline and customer responsibilities. Complete a small first stage for confirmation, carry out the remaining work with a written record and check the result before delivery. Close the job only after the customer receives a clearly defined result delivered reliably, at an agreed price and within an agreed time and any outstanding questions or payments have been resolved.

What to factor in before you set your price
Quote from approved designs, measurements, fabric and trims, branding, samples, cutting losses, sewing labour, power, alterations, packaging and delivery. Confirm sizes and logo permission before bulk production, take a material-covering deposit and build realistic time for fittings and rejected pieces into the schedule. Use local sizing conventions, textile and flammability standards, care labels, labour rules, taxes, trademark permissions and any protective-workwear certification required for the customer’s industry.
