Benefits of B2B Financing with Invoice Factoring

Many businesses take advantage of invoice factoring to meet their cash flow needs. Often referred to as accounts-receivable financing, it is when a company sells its invoices to a factoring company in exchange for a same-day advance on the total. The factoring company does the waiting for payment. When payment arrives, the factoring company provides the remainder to the business, less a factoring discount.

Grand Prairie, Texas

Grand Prairie is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area. The city derives its name from the French words ‘grande prairie’, meaning big grassland. The population of the city rose to 187,050 in 2017 from 175,369 in 2010, making it the 15th largest city in Texas and in the top 150 cities in the United States.

History

The city of Grand Prairie owes its existence to Alexander McRae Dechman from 1863. Initially, it was known as ‘Dechman’ because Mr. Dechman acquired the land where Grand Prairie is situated. Alexander Dechman was a resident of Birdville who learned that he could easily trade his wagon and oxen for land in Dallas County.

In 1863, he bought 100 acres of land on the west side of the Trinity River in exchange for his broken-down wagon and 239.5 acres of land on the eastern side of the river; however, he faced a plethora of bottlenecks while trying to establish a home on the land he had acquired. He finally gave up and went back to Birdville.

In 1874, Dechman sold half of the acquired land to T&P Railroad to ensure that the railroad came through the town. The railroad project between Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas was completed by the end of 1876.

In 1877, the first post office was opened under the name ‘Deckman’ instead of ‘Dechman’ because of the inability of the postal staff to correctly read the completed form. The post office was later renamed ‘Grand Prairie’.

Grand Prairie came into existence as a city in 1909 and the first water system was built in 1918.

Due to World War II, the population of the town grew from 1,000 to 15,000. The government built Avion Village in record time, where construction of one home took just 59 minutes. In 1944, a new one-story city hall came into existence and in 1950 the Uptown Theater with 1,100 seats opened.

Since its inception, Grand Prairie has offered family fun, relaxation, friendly neighbors and a smart place to do business and live in.

Employment

Texas and the nearby metropolitan area are largely dependent upon oil and gas production, transportation, defense manufacturing and electronics for economic growth. However, the service and sales sector is slowly catching up and becoming a major source of employment for the people of Grand Prairie. The Dallas-Fort Worth region is attracting new businesses because of the extremely broad transportation base and abundance of skilled labor; the city also offers a bouquet of employment opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor.

Because of its central location and proximity to air and highway transportation, the city is a renowned distribution center.

Economic Development

An extremely encouraging business environment and availability of land and tax advantages continue to attract entrepreneurs to the region. Due to the economic activities, the population of the city has grown at a rapid pace. The unemployment rate in the city is 4 percent, with job growth of approximately 2.42 percent.
