Manufacturing Escrow
Milestone payments tied to production progress
Manufacturing Escrow structures payments around production milestones: raw material purchase, production completion, quality control pass, and shipment. Each release requires verification — production photos, QC reports, or on-site inspection — protecting both the brand owner's capital and the manufacturer's cash flow.
The standard solution for OEM/ODM relationships, custom machinery fabrication, and any production run where specifications matter and trust is still being built.
