Where Andrews sits and why it matters to small business

Andrews is a city and the county seat of Andrews County, in the Permian Basin of West Texas, about 30 miles east of New Mexico. The 2020 census counted 13,487 residents. The city was incorporated in 1937, and both the city and county are named for Richard Andrews, the first Texan soldier to die in the Texas Revolution.

The Permian Basin is the highest-producing oil field in the United States, which means a lot of local work comes from service, hauling, supply and repair. Cafes, motels and stores in a town like this live off the people those jobs bring in.

The cash-flow problem is payroll before payment

A field-service company pays its people every week. Its customers, usually larger operators, pay after paperwork, field tickets and approvals. In between, the owner is carrying wages, fuel, insurance and equipment costs.

Equipment is the second pressure

Pickup trucks, trailers, pumps and tools wear quickly in rough conditions. When one fails, the repair cannot wait for a payment cycle. A supplier who stocks parts for the same crews also has to pay for inventory before it sells.

Receivables are the third

A growing stack of unpaid invoices looks good on a report and does nothing for the checking account.

A month on the calendar, for illustration

Crew wagesEvery weekAfter the customer approves the job paperwork
Fuel and truck costsAs usedBundled into the invoice, paid later
Parts for repairsWhen orderedCharged to customers on account
Insurance and yard costsMonthlyNot tied to any single invoice

These are descriptive, not terms of any funding we offer.

Using working capital without overreaching

A practical rule for service businesses is to match the amount to the specific gap: the next several payrolls, a named equipment repair, or a stock purchase you can already tie to a customer order. Owners who stay close to a defined need tend to make clearer decisions than those who ask for the largest figure available.

Questions for an owner to answer before applying

How many weeks of payroll could the business cover if its largest customer paused? Which piece of equipment is most likely to fail next, and what would it cost to replace? How long do your customers actually take to pay compared with the terms on the invoice? These three answers describe the business's real cash picture and give a sensible starting point for the amount, the use and the timing of any working-capital request.

Common Questions

Is Andrews too remote for funding?

Location does not decide eligibility. The application is about your business and its needs, and it is completed online in about five minutes.

Can a small hauling or welding outfit apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, and small crews with one or two trucks have the same payroll and fuel timing as larger operators.

What if oil activity slows and my customers pay slowly?

Working capital can cover payroll and fixed costs during a slow-paying stretch. Choose an amount that fits your actual gap.

How much is available?

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and funds can arrive in as little as 24 hours after approval.

Does the town's size limit my options?

The same short form is used for every Texas business, whether in Andrews or in a large metro.
