How Texas plant nursery businesses use this financing
Common uses of funds:
- Mowers, trailers, trucks, and skid steers
- Snow plows and salt spreaders for winter contracts
- Hardscape tools and irrigation equipment
- Working capital for spring hiring and seasonal payroll
Typical loan size: Landscaping loans typically range from $20K to $400K, with multi-crew operations financing up to $1M in equipment.
Seasonality: Most landscapers do 75% of revenue April-October; snow contracts can offset Nov-Mar in northern markets.
Most common reason for decline: Landscape companies are often declined for thin year-round revenue or for cash-only payment patterns.

Frequently asked questions
What business loans are available to Plant Nursery owners in Texas?

How fast can a Plant Nursery business in Texas get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying Texas plant nursery businesses. Small business loans and equipment financing typically wire in 1–3 business days. SBA loans take 4–10 weeks because of government underwriting.
Are there Texas-specific SBA programs plant nursery owners should know about?
Yes. The SBA district offices in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and Lubbock oversees SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan programs for Texas small businesses, with home-grown lender partners that often add their own Texas-focused incentives. Manu's network includes SBA-preferred lenders that fund in Texas.
What credit score does a Texas plant nursery business need?
Minimum FICO depends on the product, not the state: equipment financing starts at 550, small business loans at 580, lines of credit at 600, and SBA loans at 660. Merchant cash advances and A/R financing have no minimum FICO when revenue is strong.
Will applying for a Texas plant nursery loan hurt my credit?
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. A hard pull only happens if you accept a final offer from a lender.
