La
migración de la actividad exportadora de un estado original
de Maquila a una empresa de Paquete Completo implica llevar a cabo
muchos cambios importantes: desde el establecimiento de un proceso
de compras y costeo adecuado hasta el desarrollo de un sistema
de diseño, el mejoramiento y ampliación de los recintos
de almacenamiento y la tecnificación del proceso de corte,
sólo para citar algunos.
Todos estos aspectos pueden ser manejados por aquellos empresarios que tienen
muchos años trabajando para la industria de la indumentaria (en todas
sus variaciones) ya que poseen los contactos necesarios en el mercado de los
compradores (retailers, brands, etc) como para asesorarse adecuadamente.
Sin embargo, todos estos cambios tienen un común denominador: deben
ser financiados. Los empresarios locales deben buscar fondos a mediano plazo
(vía leasing, préstamos hipotecarios y/o prendarios) para completar
este crecimiento en infraestructura y modificar el perfil de su empresa.

The
reconversion of the export activity from an original state of maquila
to a Full Package business implies undertaking many important changes:
from establishing a process for buying and cost-adequating, to developing
a design system, improving and enlarging warehouses and technifying
the cutting process, just to mention a few.
All of these aspects can be handled by those businessmen who have
been working with the apparel industry for many years in all its
variations, as they have
the necessary contacts in the buyers’ market (retailers, brands, etc.)
to ensure proper counseling.
Nevertheless, all these changes have a common denominator: they need financing.
Local businessmen must search for funding at a medium term (via leasing, mortgage
and guarantee loans) to complete this growth in infrastructure and so modify
the profile of the company.
But the main problems in the financial aspect are not confronted then, but in
the search for short term work capital that allows buying supplies that, to this
date, were received on consignment to construct, finish and send the final product
to outside markets.
The lack of “assured” financial support is restricting the process
