A city that was built in stages

Lewisville began as Holford's Prairie in the early 1840s, got its first railroad in 1881 and incorporated in 1925. Once Lewisville Lake was completed in the 1950s, the city began to expand rapidly, and it is now one of the Mid-Cities of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with 111,822 residents at the 2020 census. Denton County, where it sits, had 906,422. A city that has grown in layers like that has every kind of job a contractor wants: older buildings to repair and renovate, newer ones to maintain, and pads that need work before anything opens.

Nearby Flower Mound, Little Elm, The Colony, Corinth, Highland Village, Trophy Club, Roanoke and Denton are all within reach for a crew based in Lewisville, so the same truck often covers several jurisdictions in a week.

Question and answer: where does a contractor's cash actually go?

What do I pay before the job pays me?

Permit fees, a material deposit, the first week or two of labor, and often a sub's mobilization. On a mid-sized job that is a real sum, spent before the first milestone is approved.

Why does it feel worse on larger jobs?

Because draws are proportional to progress, but your costs are front-loaded. A bigger job spends more up front and waits longer for the first release.

What if I am paid by a general contractor?

A sub often waits for the general to get paid first. If the general is slow, you carry the delay on your own payroll.

Texas rules that give you leverage but not cash

Two statutes matter, though this is not legal advice. Texas Property Code section 28.004 provides that overdue amounts accrue interest from the day after the due date at one and a half percent per month. Section 53.052 covers the lien affidavit, which is filed with the county clerk; for a non-residential original contractor, the deadline is the 15th day of the fourth month after the month in which the work was completed.

These rules protect your right to be paid, but they work on a timeline of months. Payroll is weekly. If you have to wait, working capital covers the difference without forcing you to ask the crew to wait too. Review your own contracts with an attorney.

Reading the payroll side

Quarterly itemRule
Unemployment wage reports and taxesDue by the last day of the month after the quarter ends, per the Texas Workforce Commission
Workers' compensationPrivate Texas employers can generally choose whether to carry it, so many decide based on risk and contracts

Both land on the same calendar as your draws. A crew's payroll cost is more than the paycheck, so plan for it along with material bills.

Common Questions

Can I apply if I only do small jobs?

Yes. Sole proprietors and small crews can apply. Request an amount that matches the specific gap, between $25,000 and $5,000,000.

Does funding replace a lien claim?

No. Lien and prompt-payment rules are separate legal tools; talk to an attorney about your contracts.

What counts as a use of funds?

Payroll, materials, subs, a truck or equipment, and bridging while a draw is processed.

Do I need a Lewisville address?

Your business can be anywhere in Texas; this page just reflects work around Lewisville and the Mid-Cities.

Is the credit pull hard?

No. The application uses a soft pull.
