Local economy
The Dallas economy
The city is a major centre for finance, corporate headquarters and professional services, with dense office markets downtown and in Uptown. Its central location and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport make it a natural hub for wholesale distribution, trade shows and air cargo, and warehouses line the interstates heading south. Construction rarely slows as the metro keeps adding homes and commercial space. Restaurants, retail and personal services fill in around that, and franchising is especially common, with many locally owned units of national brands operating throughout the city and its suburbs.
Selling to big companies is great for revenue and hard on cash. Many Dallas vendors wait on large customers while paying their own suppliers and staff up front. If most of your sales go to a few large accounts, expect lenders to ask about that concentration. Factoring and credit lines tend to fit this situation better than daily-payment advances, which keep pulling money whether or not customers have paid.

FAQ
Dallas funding questions
I own two franchise units and want a third. What financing is common?
Term loans and SBA-backed loans are both used for franchise expansion. Lenders look at how the existing units perform, the terms of your franchise agreement and the build-out budget. Some franchisors also keep lists of lenders familiar with their brand.
My wholesale business sells to national retailers on long terms. What helps?
A line of credit or factoring usually fits. Factors weigh your customers' credit strength heavily, so selling to large, well-known retailers can work in your favour even when your business is young or your own credit is thin.
Where can I get free advice in Dallas before borrowing?
The SBA Dallas / Fort Worth District Office and the local Small Business Development Center offer free counselling and help reviewing offers. The City of Dallas Office of Economic Development also lists city programs and incentives worth checking before you apply anywhere.
Do you only work with businesses inside Dallas city limits?
No. We work with businesses anywhere in the Dallas area, including Irving, Garland, Richardson and Mesquite, and across the rest of Texas. Location matters much less than your revenue, time in business and bank statements.
