Business loans in Texas
Texas is big enough to hold several economies at once: energy in Houston and the Permian, tech in Austin, corporate headquarters in Dallas, trade along the border, and ranching everywhere.

Cities we serve in Texas
Local economy
Texas industries we see most
Texas holds several regional economies at once. Houston is the center of the oil, gas and petrochemical industry and home to one of the world's largest medical complexes, while the Permian Basin in West Texas drives drilling and oilfield services. Dallas-Fort Worth is a corporate-headquarters, finance and logistics powerhouse, and Austin has become a major technology hub. San Antonio mixes military installations, healthcare and tourism. Along the Rio Grande, El Paso, Laredo and the Lower Rio Grande Valley move enormous volumes of cross-border trade. Across the rest of the state, cattle ranching, cotton, construction and a vast restaurant industry, from barbecue to Tex-Mex, keep small businesses busy.
The SBA has six district offices in Texas: Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, the Lower Rio Grande Valley and West Texas. Texas also passed a law in 2025 (HB 700) on disclosures for commercial sales-based financing.
What fits
Common funding choices in Texas
- Equipment financing for oilfield, construction and trucking equipment.
- Invoice factoring for carriers and energy-service firms waiting on payment.
- A line of credit for contractors riding the construction cycle.
- Working capital for restaurants and retailers in fast-growing suburbs.
Local industries
- Trucking: Carriers hauling cross-border freight through Laredo and El Paso often wait on brokers and shippers, so factoring those invoices keeps fuel and drivers paid between loads.
- Roofing: Texas roofers see surges after hail and hurricane seasons and wait on insurance-related payments, so a line of credit covers crews and materials during those spikes.
- HVAC: HVAC contractors across Texas face intense summer demand, and equipment financing for service vans plus working capital for stocking units helps them keep up.

Rules
State disclosure rules
Texas has House Bill 700 (2025) on commercial sales-based financing disclosures, which requires providers (and in some cases brokers) to disclose cost terms on certain commercial financing offers. Read the official source. General information, not legal advice.
FAQ
Texas funding questions
After a hailstorm my roofing company has more work than cash. What helps?
A line of credit or working capital can fund crews and shingles while insurance-backed payments arrive. Lenders will want to see signed contracts and how quickly homeowners and adjusters typically pay. Storm-driven surges are familiar to lenders who work with Texas roofers.
I haul freight across the border at Laredo. Can I factor cross-border loads?
Many factors work with cross-border carriers, though some limit which shippers or brokers they accept. The factor will review your customers' payment history and your operating authority. Clear paperwork on each load makes the process smoother.
Texas passed a disclosure law for sales-based financing. What should I know?
Texas enacted a law in 2025 requiring disclosures for certain commercial sales-based financing. It helps you compare offers on total cost and terms. We suggest reading every disclosure carefully and comparing more than one option. Offers tied to a share of future card sales are common for Texas restaurants and retailers, so this matters for them especially.
My HVAC company is swamped every summer and slower in winter. What fits?
Equipment financing for vans and tools keeps fixed costs predictable, and a line of credit covers stocking units ahead of summer. Texas HVAC companies often apply in spring, before heat waves drive call volume and cash needs up.
