A big city beside the ship channel

Pasadena is a city in Harris County and part of the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metropolitan area. As of the 2020 census the population was 151,950, making it the 23rd most populous city in Texas and the second most populous in Harris County after Houston. The area was founded in 1893 by John H. Burnett of Galveston, who named it after Pasadena, California, because of the perceived lush vegetation. Houston, Baytown, La Porte, Deer Park, Katy, Bellaire, Humble and South Houston are all close by.

Four kinds of Pasadena business

KindPage to readTypical cash pattern
Port drayage and logisticsPort drayage and logistics fundingFuel, drivers and chassis costs paid before the customer
Oilfield service and supplyOilfield services fundingCrew and parts first, long invoice cycles
RestaurantsRestaurants fundingWeekly costs, daily-varying sales
Neighborhood retail and serviceWorking capitalInventory and rent against uneven traffic

How a good year ends with a bad score

  • The drayage operator who pays drivers every Friday and collects after the container is delivered.
  • The service shop with a large customer on a long cycle.
  • The restaurateur who stocked up for a busy stretch that came late.

In each case the owner kept the business running with personal credit. The score captured the card balance. It did not capture the work. Long-haul trucking is a harder fit for funding and we make no promise for it; local port and yard work is read on its own facts.

What the pages above can and cannot tell you

The industry pages describe how cash tends to move in each kind of business. They are not a prediction of what any offer looks like, and none of the illustrations on them are our terms. Use them to find language for your own situation, then apply and see what is available. If a page does not fit, the general Pasadena page covers the options in broader terms.

Choosing what to apply for

For short gaps, read about working capital. For vehicles, equipment financing. For flexibility, a business line of credit. For repayment tied to sales, merchant cash advance. For a fixed amount, term loans. For timing, fast funding.

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000, the application takes about five minutes, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours once available. A lower score can mean a smaller or more expensive offer, and we cannot predict outcomes, so read every offer fully. See also the Pasadena page, Harris County and Greater Houston.

A worked example, for illustration only

A Pasadena yard-and-hauling company pays $26,000 a month in drivers and fuel and bills customers on forty-five-day terms. In a month when two customers each pay at day seventy, the company is short about $20,000. A card covers it. These round numbers are invented to show the mechanics, not our terms or an outcome to expect.

Questions that help you size the amount

  1. How many weeks of costs are tied up in unpaid invoices today?
  2. How many of those weeks would you cover from the business account if the biggest invoice paid on time?
  3. What is the shortfall in dollars, and what would you do with it?

Whatever the answer, a specific number is easier to review than a general one.

Common Questions

Does Pasadena being large make this easier or harder?

Neither. The process is the same for every business.

My work is port-related. Is that a problem?

Describe the work and how you are paid. Port work often has float, which is why many owners look at working capital.

Can I apply as a sole proprietor?

Yes.

How fast might money arrive?

In as little as 24 hours once available.

What is the funding range?

$25,000 to $5,000,000.
