Haliey Welch takes out $10,000 loan to save Tenn. Hat company sells ‘Hawk Tuah’ merchandise

Harry Welch swooped in to save the hat company hawking her “Hawk Tuah” merchandise… and coughed up some cash to keep the business afloat.

Jason PoteetThe founder of Lewisburg, Tenn.-based Fathead Threads told TMZ … Haliey recently helped save the company by lending him $10,000 during a time of great need.

Although the brand’s “Lucky Eagle” hat Sales of the product have been in full swing since Haliey went viral in a NSFW street interview last month, with Jason saying the majority of the $190,000 in sales was locked into a PayPal account.

Jason stated that he was unable to obtain the funds and claimed that due to the large number of sales in such a short period of time, PayPal was convinced that he was running a fraudulent business and did not have sufficient funds to fulfill outstanding orders.

Haliey’s business partner said he had about 2,500 orders to fill but could only withdraw $2,000 from his PayPal account…and he needed more cash to pay for manufacturing, shipping and other costs associated with filling the orders.

Jason said that at first he started asking for money from his family and then going to the bank for a loan so he could fulfill the order… The stress of it all left him physically ill and anxious.

Enter Halili.

Jason said he revealed the situation to Harley last Friday…she gets a cut of Hawk Tuah merchandise sales, and he told us he didn’t want her to think he was holding her back financially.

After Harley listened to Jason’s story, he said she was willing to lend him the $10,000 he needed to keep the business going… an amazing move that Jason said made him ecstatic.

Since Haliey’s loan, Jason says things have gotten better for Fathead Threads… and he says PayPal ended up giving him $90,000 in revenue. He said he still had plenty of money in his account, but told us there was no doubt Harry helped save the company.
