Invoice Factoring versus Business Loans

While business loans are a common financing solution, there are many advantages to using invoice factoring instead. First, since invoice factoring is not a loan, no additional debt is created. Second, companies that don’t qualify for a business loan can easily qualify for factoring. And lastly, invoice factoring grows with your business, whereas loans have a cap and it is difficult to get approved for more capital.

Galveston, Texas

The state of Texas boasts a decent number of coastal resort cities, one of them being Galveston. This beautiful city is located on the Galveston and Pelican islands and has a population of over 50,000 people who call the city home. Galveston is in Galveston County, and despite being second in terms of size, it is the county’s seat.

History

This picturesque resort city is named after Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, a Spaniard who was born in Macharaviaya in Spain. He was the Count of Gálvez. The initial European settlements on Galveston were built around 1816 by a French pirate known as Louis-Michel Aury. The settlements were built to aid the weakening Mexico in the war against Spain.

In 1825, The Port of Galveston came into being following Mexico’s independence from Spain. It served as the main port for the Texas Navy in the Texas revolution. Later on, the city was established as the capital of the Republic of Texas.

Galveston’s continued growth led to it becoming a major United States commercial base during the 19th century. It also became one of the largest ports in the country. It was the largest city in Texas until the 1900 Galveston Hurricane ruined it. The city was not able to withstand the flooding and storm that accompanied the hurricane. It is estimated that 6,000 to 12,000 people lost their lives in the hurricane. Galveston was later rebuilt, and it became a popular tourist destination as well as, unfortunately, a base for illegal gambling.

There was a blizzard in February of 1895 when approximately 15.4 inches of snow fell. That is the largest amount of snow recorded to date for the city.

The city experiences an annual rainfall which has been known to go up to 50 inches. Hurricanes which are a constant threat during the summer and the fall. As a result, Galveston has been put in the Coastal Windstorm Area. Security measures have been put in place, but the shoreline remains a place to watch during hurricane season.
