Factoring Companies in Odessa

Funding for Companies Needing Cash

Companies obtain funding in several different ways. Many companies, waiting to get paid by slow-paying customers, turn to invoice factoring, also known as accounts receivable financing.

Our Odessa invoice factoring programs work by selling your invoices to Scale Funding. We’ll advance you up to 95 percent of the invoice amount, same-day. While we wait for your customer to pay in 30, 60, 90 or more days later, you can focus on operating your business.

Once your customer pays the invoice, we’ll remit the remaining invoice balance back to you, minus our competitively low factoring fee.

While some companies turn to business loans or lines of credit for funding, they aren’t always the best or available solutions.

Odessa, Texas

Odessa got its name because of homesickness. In the late 19th century, immigrants from Russia came in droves to work for the railroad. The scenery especially reminded them of Odessa, Ukraine. They looked at the short grasses and they thought of home. Their descendants must have thought of Russia as well.

But it is safe to think that Odessa, as one of the fastest growing small cities in the US according to Forbes, is so livable nowadays that anyone, with Russian blood or without, can call it home. It’s good to note that Odessa’s city symbol is the jackrabbit.

History

In 1881, the trains using the Texas and Pacific Railway stopped at Odessa for water and to ship cattle. Cattle ranching has always been part of the city’s economic activities and it persists even in the second decade of the new millennium.

Odessa earned a seat in Ector County in 1891. It became a city in 1921. To encourage young boys not to drop out of school, the town inspired them to play football in 1923. This proved beneficial then but also for the future when the Texas high school would earn football championships several times. Today, the football program is one in which a lot of boys would like to get into.

Because of oil, people went and settled in the city causing a rise in its population. The oil reserves have an interesting history. They are said to be the products of plants and animals that decayed even before the advent of dinosaurs.

Even President George W. Bush and his family once resided in Odessa in 1948 because of the commercial opportunities brought by the oil boom.

Geography and Climate

Odessa, Texas is in West Texas. Most of the area is part of Ector County. A small part is within Midland County. Its land area is 43.9 square miles. The highest elevation is 2,900 feet. It has sunny summers and mild winters. The area that has bolstered its economic reputation is known as Permian Basin. The name refers to the oil and gas deposits that can be found there. Since it has contributed so much to the city, it even has an annual show called Permian Basin International Oil Show.

Economy

Oil is the major industry in the city as it has considerable reserves of this resource. Industries related to oil are also therefore present and are major sources of city revenue and employment. However, since the price of oil is quite unpredictable, the city government has exerted efforts in getting other industries to invest in the city as well.

It has succeeded, so far. Big companies like Coke and Family Dollar are already familiar business presences in Odessa. It has explored other sources of energy like wind power and nuclear energy.
