Apply Now →Paris is the county seat of Lamar County, in Northeast Texas at the western edge of the Piney Woods. Lamar County, established in 1840, had 50,088 residents in the 2020 census and covers 917 square miles.
In a county of fifty thousand people spread over nine hundred square miles, the county seat is where much of the buying happens. Farm suppliers, feed stores, equipment dealers, auto and truck repair, restaurants and similar businesses tend to cluster in town, with customers often travelling in from the surrounding county. A business located in a county seat can reach a large catchment without a large payroll.
Repeat that across a hundred customers and several suppliers and the working capital needed becomes large compared with the shop's profit. A shop can be profitable on paper and still short of cash in a given week.
| Decision | Why timing matters |
|---|---|
| Buying a second truck or trailer | It must be paid for before the added work starts |
| Hiring a mechanic or driver | Wages begin before the added revenue does |
| Stocking before a busy period | Distributors may want payment before customers do |
| Fixing a building or equipment problem | Costs arrive suddenly and unevenly |
Revenue and cash are different things. A hardware or feed store may post a strong month and still be short, because the cash was spent on inventory that has not sold yet and the sales were made on account. That is why owners in county-seat towns watch not only their sales but the ages of their unpaid invoices and the due dates of their supplier bills. A simple weekly list of both can reveal a squeeze two or three weeks before it hits.
Not every need is a truck. A new point-of-sale system, a signage upgrade, a walk-in cooler, a second register or a delivery vehicle are small by themselves and large in sequence. Owners who plan them as a set, in order of payoff, can often pay for them from one working-capital decision rather than five anxious ones. Whichever route you take, write down the date each purchase is needed and the date it is expected to start earning.
Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The application takes about five minutes, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours. Sole proprietors can apply.
