Apply Now →Mesquite is in Dallas County, with portions extending into Kaufman County. At the 2020 census it had 150,108 residents, the 22nd most in Texas. It sits at the crossroads of Interstates 30, 635 and 20 and U.S. Route 80, which puts downtown Dallas, Lake Ray Hubbard, Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport within reach. By legislative action it is the Rodeo Capital of Texas.
Highway access is a business asset: a trade or delivery operation based here can reach much of the metroplex quickly. It also means competition and customers are both wide-ranging. The local mix is broad, spanning restaurants, trades, healthcare practices, retail and service firms.
This sets the length of your gap. A customer who pays in two weeks creates a small gap; one who pays in six creates a much larger one.
Payroll, rent, insurance and fuel rarely wait. Inventory sometimes can. Total the fixed ones.
Plan for the late case, not the average. It is the case that actually causes the problem.
If not, request less.

Texas sales tax filers are told by the Comptroller whether they file monthly or quarterly, and the maximum combined state and local sales tax rate is 8.25 percent. The Comptroller also notes a timely-filer discount of 0.5 percent. If you collect sales tax, the money you collect is not yours to spend, and a slow week can tempt owners to treat it as working cash. Keeping it separate protects you on the due date.
Being at a highway junction makes it easy to reach customers across the metroplex, but it also makes it easy for customers to reach your competitors. Businesses here often end up competing on turnaround time, which means keeping stock and crews ready ahead of orders. That readiness is a cost you pay before the revenue arrives. If you find yourself turning down work because you cannot staff or stock quickly enough, the missed work is a useful way to estimate how much working capital would actually produce in new sales.
