Small business
Small business loans deliver working capital when your operation needs it. You borrow a lump sum or draw on a line, then repay over a term the lender sets. Types include SBA 7(a) for general use, equipment financing tied to machinery, real estate loans for property, and short-term working capital for payroll or inventory gaps.
Cotton Flat sits along County Road 140 west of Midland, where oil-field service yards and ranching supply outfits anchor the local economy. A gravel contractor running trucks out of Cotton Flat might need equipment financing for a new crusher, while a fabrication shop on the edge of town could tap working capital to bridge the sixty-day gap between steel orders and invoice payment.
Elm Advances is a broker, not a lender. We compare programs across multiple lenders so you see options side by side. That transparency matters when you're weighing a five-year term against a ten-year term or deciding whether invoice factoring beats a line of credit. We handle paperwork, explain each cost, and walk you through underwriting so nothing surprises you at closing.
Our office is at 2402 W Wall St in Midland, a short drive east on Interstate 20 from Cotton Flat. Call (432) 277-9693 to start.
How it works
You call us with your funding need. We review your revenue, time in business, and credit profile. Then we match you to lenders whose programs fit. You choose the offer that works, submit documents, and close. Because we broker, you compare multiple structures and pick the one with the clearest cost and the right repayment schedule.

Small business
A Cotton Flat welding shop needs to replace an aging plasma cutter and add a second bay. The owner calls Elm Advances. We present equipment financing options and an SBA 7(a) loan that covers both the machine and the build-out. The owner picks the SBA route because the longer term smooths monthly payments. We coordinate documents, the lender approves, and the shop schedules the expansion.
