The infusion of capital and credit is intended to help the company expand its distribution, boost marketing, and develop a new line of foldable kitchen tools. These resources will allow Polygons to scale its operations following years of development and initial market traction.
The deal includes $350,000 for 8% equity and 2% advisory shares, alongside a $500,000 line of credit. Polygons has previously generated $4 million in lifetime sales, including $1.25 million in the most recent year.
