Austin, TX -July 20, 2010 - Far West Capital today announced that it has closed and funded 11 working capital credit facilities for various Texas-based companies in the second quarter of 2010, totaling $11 Million.

 

The recent turnaround in the economy found many companies growing again, but lacking adequate support from their existing bank credit facilities. Many of the companies stated that they also appreciated dealing directly with the decision maker, as opposed to a credit committee in a far off location.

 

“Because of the credit crisis, many banks changed their rules for extending credit, including venture backed companies,” said Cole Harmonson, president and CEO of Far West Capital. “We’re able to lend to companies where banks cannot because we provide highly customized structures for entrepreneurs who need fast, reliable access to capital. Also, our ability to present customized solutions that are reliable is appealing to most rapidly growing entrepreneurs.”

Great post Cole. My sentiments exactly. There were not any winners in that scenario, and while both sides made mistakes, it was the Administration that ultimately let the situation slip into a "lose-lose" situation. So, now that the dust has settled, will the Raider Nation get behind the program and Coach Tuberville? Time will tell. Of course, if there are a lot "W's" in the stat columns, it will happen sooner rather than later, but it will take a while for me to trust our administration again. That lack of trust already has caused me to not dig as deep in my pocketbook when asked to renew my annual pledge. If Texas Tech Administrators and the powerful alumni that influence them truly want to have a quality program that can be competitive on a regional and national level with the UT's of the world, they'll have to leave that parochial West Texas attitude in the dust. That's not likely to happen anytime soon. That kind of thinking is part of the fabric of Lubbock and the Tech community.... permeating it like a West Texas sand storm.

Great observation Cole. As a CPA and having served as a CFO in several businesses, understanding where your cash flow is critical and too often overlooked. Companies need to keep an eye on immediate needs, and develop the ability to forecast for the near future.
