SouthStar Capital Fuels Expansion for Texas-Based Power Washing Franchise

The Situation

A Texas-based power washing franchise faced early-stage cash flow challenges as they scaled operations to meet growing commercial demand. With strong ties to the local commercial property and tech sectors, the franchise secured initial contracts with national facilities management companies. However, standard payment terms of Net 30–60, combined with upfront equipment and operational costs, created a strain on working capital. 

The Solution

SouthStar Capital provided a $275,000 accounts receivable facility to support the new business. By unlocking capital tied up in unpaid invoices, the solution provided the liquidity needed to cover overhead, fulfill contracts, and operate efficiently—all without relying on traditional bank debt. The funding also allowed the franchise to manage portal-based invoicing and payments through fortune 500 companies and a franchise scheduling system. 

The Result

With a flexible and reliable lender in place, the franchise now has consistent cash flow to support continued growth. The owners—leveraging their strong business backgrounds in commercial banking, operations, and wealth management—are positioned to expand their reach in the Texas market. With the facility deployed by SouthStar, the business is now positioned to take on larger contracts, reinforce vendor relationships, and scale as a successful, HUB-certified power washing company.
