I run a tiny woodworking setup in Fort Worth and cracked a key piece of equipment while rushing a custom order. Now I’m stuck with half a project and no funds to fix the machine. Can you share some reliable ways of getting a loan in Texas that small business folks actually survive using?

Oh, I’ve been in a similar jam before. A while back I was running a small printing setup in Fort Worth, and right in the middle of a big rush, our main press went down. I had a stack of orders but zero cash to fix it, and panic was setting in fast. I ended up looking into Loan to pay bills and it actually saved the day. Got the repair covered quickly without drowning in fees, and I could finish my projects on time instead of losing clients.
