>>11691137>banks don't give out loans and expect the borrower to pay it back with interestThere are better options to raise funds then going to banks..
>toy companies don't borrow money to produce toylinesMost successful ones don't, no. They use profits from previous releases to fund future releases. That's kind of how a good business is supposed to work.
>kickstarter fundraisers aren't last chance attempts at producing something when they can't raise funds through traditional waysThey aren't, they're alternative means to raise capital through direct investments from people who support the company and the product in exchange for something. In this case I give company money to produce it's product and in exchange...I get product.
>toy companies aren't producing extra units of toys through the funds that they're raising moneyProduction units are based on estimated quantities a business expects to sell combined with set minimums from a factory on it's ability to produce said number. If a company expects to sell 427 figures and a factory has a minimum of 500 units orders for a production run, the company will have to make 500 of said units. If a company expects to sell 327....then they will still need 500 units made as that's a minimum production number from the factory.
>their toy prices arent inflated many times overThey are, by retailers. Buying from a secondary seller instead of direct from the manufacturing company will increase costs. That's why 4H products have higher prices from their Retail Partners while initial pre-order sales are lower priced. You get the lowest price ordering direct from the manufacturer.
And again, NO company would want to constantly take out loans to make something new. Doing that is *literally* throwing away money. That is an ATROCIOUS business model. Interest is a BAD thing and the only people who actually like interest are the loan companies who make money by doing absolutely nothing.
Again, stop being stupid.
