Yeah, there are minimums, that's called running an electronics business.
My last employer, M&K, would get lots as small as of 10 each on their power
amp boards. You forecast how many of a certain type you sell in a year, you
make 10 of them, you know how long you have until 10 more will be needed.
There's an outlay of cash, but it can be turned quicker because you have the
product on hand to sell, ship and earn on.
