About Remilia Hair

Remilia Hair is an innovative beauty brand specializing in high-performance hair care products, including their signature CosmoCap hair capsules, masks, and shampoos. The company operates an omni-channel business model, leveraging direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales via Shopify and Amazon, alongside significant wholesale partnerships with major global retailers such as TJ Maxx and Loblaws.

“I have already recommended John Galt Finance to many companies. The time we reached to the guys was the right one. We are the perfect customer for JG – a growing omnichannel brand with long production lead times and expensive short-term debt. We needed their help to restructure the company's debt and stop draining monthly cash flow.”

Challenges

Despite strong market traction and a growing brand presence, Remilia Hair faced a severe liquidity crisis. The business was burdened by numerous high-interest, short-term loans (QuickBooks, ClearCo, PayPal) that drained monthly cash flow. Operational challenges included long production lead times (120–150 days) and high minimum order quantities (MOQs) that tied up limited capital. A complex existing owner-loan structure was also acting as a deterrent for new, large-scale equity investors.

Our approach

Debt restructured, inventory optimized, and an investor-ready model to scale.

Centralized dashboard

First, we pulled everything into one place and built a real-time, automated Dashboard. Now, Eliran and his team could access all their financial data in one spot, saving hours previously spent jumping between platforms and allowing them to make quicker, smarter decisions.

Cash runway

Developed a granular 12-month cash runway tracker to monitor weekly liquidity and prioritize critical vendor and debt repayments.

Growth model

Built a comprehensive 5-year financial growth model, incorporating scenario analysis for new product divisions and international expansion (UAE, Israel, China).

Inventory planning

Optimized inventory management by calculating precise replenishment cycles, factoring in 150-day lead times and multi-stage payment terms with global suppliers.

Unit economics

Conducted deep-dive unit economics analysis (CAC/ROAS) to evaluate the profitability of Amazon influencer campaigns versus Shopify D2C growth.

Cap table & investors

Advised on the restructuring of the cap table, facilitating negotiations for partner exits and debt-to-equity conversions to ensure investor readiness.

“They brought real structure and clarity to our financial planning, especially around inventory forecasting and financial modeling. Their insights helped us make better, more confident decisions as we scale. They're professional, responsive, and truly understand the needs of a growing brand. Highly recommend.”
