SouthStar Capital Powers Growth for Security Franchise with $500K Financing

The Situation

In December 2020, an experienced telecommunications and security specialist launched a Texas-based firm during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. With a background in cell tower infrastructure, wireless access points, DAS, and low-voltage system integration, the founder capitalized on long-standing industry relationships to secure early clients—including a major energy provider. The business initially focused on servicing local accounts while larger operations remained shut down. After a brief pause, the company officially resumed operations in January 2025 with plans to scale into larger commercial and government projects. This company needed financing for a large commercial project that involved the installation of security doors and cameras at a wind turbine site. 

The Solution

To support its expansion, the company turned to SouthStar Capital for flexible funding. SouthStar provided a $500,000 accounts receivable financing facility, giving the business immediate access to capital tied up in unpaid invoices. This funding ensured steady cash flow to meet payroll, purchase equipment, and manage upfront project costs. The company also developed a scalable sourcing and operations model—supplying its own equipment while materials were sourced internally or through vetted local vendors depending on logistics and cost efficiency. To prepare for larger jobs, the team established procedures to coordinate directly with general contractors managing site builds, ensuring seamless execution on complex projects.  

The Result

With financing from SouthStar Capital and operational infrastructure in place, the company is now positioned to take on larger, more sophisticated contracts nationwide. The $500K A/R facility provided the working capital needed to pursue growth opportunities, manage vendor relationships, and confidently deliver on multi-phase builds. Backed by deep technical expertise and a reliable facility in place, the business continues to scale responsibly, delivering integrated technology solutions to critical industries across the country.
