Cash you need available (your buffer)–
–Ad budget
–Product cost
–Expected profit
–Orders needed
–Orders/day (average)
–Orders/day (BF week)
Credit line warning: the credit line moves the ad bill to December - it doesn't remove it. Normally your BF payouts (landing Dec 1-4) cover it, if your margins held. A bad November on credit means a December bill without the payouts to match.
This is an estimate - you know your business best. Many stores lose money during BFCM. Scale with caution.
