A valley town at the edge of the desert

Pecos is the largest city and county seat of Reeves County. It sits in the valley on the west bank of the Pecos River at the eastern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas, just south of the New Mexico border. The 2020 census counted 12,916 residents in the city and 14,748 in the county, which covers 2,636 square miles. The city is a regional commercial center for ranching, oil and gas production and agriculture, and is best known for its local cantaloupes.

Why oilfield-linked firms have a cash cycle of their own

The Permian Basin, covering West Texas and part of far southeast New Mexico, is described as the highest-producing oil field in the United States. A town in that region has businesses that serve crews and operators: equipment and parts, welding, repairs, supply yards, rentals, catering, lodging and local transport. They sell to customers whose own payment practices set the pace.

This page stays with the business side, specifically three recurring pressure points:

Payroll

Crews are paid weekly. Customer payments arrive on invoice terms.

Equipment

A unit that is down earns nothing. A repair or replacement cannot wait for the next invoice to clear.

Receivables

One large customer paying late can hold up many small bills.

Illustration: a $45,000 receivable and a Friday payroll

For illustration only, not our terms or typical results: a small fabrication shop completes work worth $45,000 for a commercial customer on net-thirty terms. It has already spent $20,000 on material and carries $9,000 in weekly payroll. Nothing is wrong with the business. The money is simply owed, not in the account. Owners in this position use working capital to keep payroll and purchasing moving while the receivable is outstanding.

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. Read about Reeves County and the Permian Basin, or apply now.
