In Fort Worth, a city of roughly 920,000, rail heritage, aviation manufacturing, and the DFW construction boom converge here. The applications we fund from the metro lean on construction, manufacturing, logistics, and the medical deals fit that pattern.
Texas's state sales-tax base rate is 6.25 percent (local additions vary), and on most deals the tax rolls into the financed amount rather than coming out of pocket. The UCC-1 securing the equipment gets filed with the Texas Secretary of State, and we handle that filing at funding. Texas has no state income tax, so Section 179 and depreciation decisions play out on your federal return only. Full state-level detail lives on our Texas guide.

Common pitfalls on medical financing
The patterns below show up regularly on medical equipment financing transactions across Fort Worth, TX. Catching any of them at the application or document-review stage saves real money and avoids post-funding disputes.
Dealers commonly quote a bundled medical price including buckets, forks, plates, or specialty attachments, but the bill of sale lists only the base unit. We fund what is on the bill of sale; itemize every attachment line by line before signing.
The medical policy must name us as loss payee for the life of the loan. A mismatched loss payee triggers force-placed insurance at 3-5x the open-market rate while the issue resolves.
