Let's Talk About
Craft & Commerce.

Cluster onboarding begins with a field assessment by ARC's cluster development team. We evaluate craft quality, number of artisans, production capacity, and community readiness. Clusters that meet our criteria are brought into the supply network with full support for production improvement and market linkage.

ARC works with regional traders, standalone craft and lifestyle retail stores, chain retailers, government craft emporiums, gifting companies, and national ecommerce marketplaces. We can adapt supply terms — volumes, packaging, documentation — to match each partner's requirements.

ARC partners with NBFCs and small banks to offer working capital products designed for artisan clusters. ARC acts as the interface — we introduce qualified clusters to financial partners, facilitate documentation, and provide production oversight that gives lenders confidence in the cluster's ability to repay.
