One city in two counties

Azle is a city west of Fort Worth, in both Parker and Tarrant counties. The 2020 census counted 13,369 residents. Local pride runs through the school, including the Azle Marching Green Pride band and the Fighting Azle Hornets. Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield, North Richland Hills, Euless, Grapevine, Bedford and Haltom City make up the larger map around it.

Straddling two counties does not change how a business runs day to day, but it does mean owners deal with more than one set of local offices, and that many Azle businesses sell well beyond city limits.

Payroll, equipment, receivables: one example for each

Payroll

A small crew company that serves industrial and energy-related customers pays its workers every week. Its customers are larger companies that pay after approvals and paperwork.

Equipment

A hauling or service firm may own two or three trucks and a trailer. If a transmission fails, the repair can cost more than a week of revenue.

Receivables

A supply company sells pipe, fittings, parts or tools to other businesses on account. The goods leave the shelf today; the cash arrives next month.

Reading your own numbers

NumberWhy it matters
Days your customers take to paySets how long you must carry costs yourself
Weeks of payroll in your accountShows how long you could run if a large payment slipped
Age of your key equipmentPredicts a repair or replacement bill
Share of sales from your largest customerShows how much one late payment can hurt

Owners who know these four numbers can size a working-capital need in minutes.

When working capital is the wrong answer

If the business is losing money on each job, borrowing does not repair that. If a customer has stopped paying altogether, funding does not bring them back. Working capital is a timing tool. It is most useful when work is done, money is owed and the gap is a matter of weeks.

If you operate across the county, the Tarrant County page and the Dallas-Fort Worth page add more. Sole proprietors can apply, and the application takes about five minutes.

A calendar view of a month in a hauling or supply firm

Week one: fuel, driver wages and a parts order go out the door. Week two: a customer asks for a second delivery before paying for the first. Week three: insurance renews and a tire blowout needs replacing. Week four: the first customer's payment is approved, but the second is not. That month had no mistakes and no bad customers, and still left the account lower than it started. The owner's choices were to delay something, to take on a credit balance, or to bring in working capital. Seeing the month laid out like this is usually the first step to deciding which one makes sense. The scenario is illustrative and not a description of any particular company.

Common Questions

Do I apply as an Azle business if I work in Fort Worth?

Yes. The application is about your business and its needs, not where each job site is.

Can a small hauler with one truck apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply.

What if my largest customer pays slowly?

That is one of the most common reasons to look at working capital. Size the request to the weeks between your costs and their payment.
