Use Factoring to Take Control of Cash Flow

Businesses take advantage of invoice factoring, also called accounts-receivable financing, when they want to eliminate the gap between invoicing and receiving payment. There could be many reasons for this, and in all cases, companies benefit from the immediate cash flow they receive because they can:

• Catch up on bills.
• Hire new employees.
• Invest in new equipment.
• Confidently secure new contracts.

Through our Mesquite invoice factoring lines, we provide businesses anywhere from $50K to $20MM in monthly financing, all from the invoices they are awaiting payment on. It’s simple, fast and gives businesses the power to take control of cash flow.

Mesquite, Texas

Popularly referred to as the “Rodeo Capital of Texas” due to legislative action, Mesquite is one of the most populated cities in Texas. Since its formation in 1878, the city has witnessed exponential growth of both its population and economy. Mesquite bears a rich cultural and historical heritage with the presence of Native American tribes such as Caddo, Ionies and Tawakoni settling here before the arrival of settlers. This comprehensive blend of culture is also witnessed presently, with many residents and incoming visitors from various racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Based on the 2015 census, Mesquite has a population of 144,788; it is a population with an immense sense of community and warmth, supported by a relaxed atmosphere. The city lays heavy emphasis on environmental conservation, as well as urban sustainability, and to this end, has been named by the National Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City for more than 25 years. In 2016, Mesquite was conferred the ‘Playful City’ recognition for the fourth consecutive year.

Historical Background

Mesquite was incorporated officially on March 14, 1887, almost 10 years after it was founded. Its location was based on the use of the Texas & Pacific Railroad that ran from Dallas, Texas to Shreveport, Louisiana. This is because the railroad was used to transport raw materials from the local farms producing cotton, corn, hay and sugar. During the early years of its formation, Mesquite was an agrarian society. The suburban upsurge came about after the Second World War. This boom shows a population increase from 1,696 in 1950 to 55,131 people in 1970.

Before the arrival of settlers, indigenous people took advantage of the city’s flat and open landscape to hold annual tournaments and fairs after harvesting their produce. The region is also known for Sam Bass, a 19th-century outlaw who got away with $30,000 from the Mesquite downtown area. It is also recognized because it houses the longest-running newspaper in Dallas County, The Mesquiter, which was founded in 1882.

The reference “Rodeo Capital of Texas” is supported by the fact that the city opened a permanent rodeo location in 1946, in the form of the Mesquite Rodeo. In 1959, the first American air-conditioned mall was opened in Mesquite, referred to as the Big Town Mall, but the facility was bulldozed in 2006. However, another mall in the city, known as Town East Mall was featured in the 1978 movie “Cotton Candy.”

It is important to note that the city’s name was bestowed upon it by the locals because of the presence of Mesquite Creek.

Economic Activities

In the years following its formation, the city of Mesquite thrived as a community founded on agriculture as the backbone of its economy, planting crops such as corn and cotton. After World War II, the city’s economy took a slight turn to focus more on manufacturing and business startups, as well as other aspects of industrialization. The expanding shift in the availability of job and business opportunities caused the population to rise over to 100,000 people in the 1990s.

Currently, the economy of Mesquite is supported by various sectors such as entertainment, restaurants and retail shopping. This is indicated by the presence of the Town East Mall, Skyline Business Park, Peachtree Center and High Point Industrial Park. It also houses regional and international entities such as Baker Drywall, Sears, United Parcel Service and Pepsi-Cola Bottling.

Arts, Culture, and Leisure

Mesquite is not short on entertainment and recreational facilities, including the Mesquite Arena, which is home to the world-renowned Mesquite ProRodeo. This facility was constructed in 1986, and by the start of the 21st century, had spread its operations to include an Exhibition Hall, Convention Center and a Hampton Inn & Suites. The city comes alive during the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, with both residents and visitors enjoying a taste of the best that Mesquite has to offer.

For individuals who love to read and grow their minds in a quiet place, the Mesquite Public Library System offers two branches that cater to these needs, as well as to those in the education system. In 2016, the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association accredited the system with a Library of Excellence award.

Cultured individuals get to experience the best Mesquite has to offer in terms of art at the Mesquite Arts Center, an amenity that houses the Mesquite Symphony Orchestra, Mesquite Community Band and Mesquite Community Theater. It is a multipurpose arts center featuring the Black Box Theater, support space, several galleries, rehearsal hall, as well as a performance hall that accommodates 494 people.

There are more than 76 recreational facilities and parks in the city, such as the Mesquite Golf Club, featuring a driving range, pro shop and 18-hole course. It services both expert and novice golfers.

In 2015, the city launched the Heritage Trail System, a 4.25-mile trail for both hiking and biking. It consists of several concrete sidewalks and trails that allow residents to move from their homes to schools, business centers, recreational areas and sports fields within Mesquite.
