How much would it cost to start a clothing business?

This will depend on many factors, of course. Among the big questions: is this a new clothing line or a business that manufactures clothing? Is it both? There is a reality TV show that offers $100,000 to its winner to start a new clothing line. This amount is completely arbitrary. You may be able to get started with little or no investment. You should be able to develop a prototype of your clothing on your own, or with the help of a seamstress or tailor. Then you can take this prototype to local stores to sell them on it. When you have buyers, you can have the clothing made.
