Texas fence companies serve a steady market driven by new construction, property improvements, and the state's large rural and suburban land base. Whether you install residential privacy fences, commercial security fencing, or agricultural fencing, there are government programs that may help with equipment acquisition, workforce costs, and government contracting.
SBA Lending Programs
SBA 7(a) Loans
SBA 7(a) loans up to $5 million can cover fence installation equipment, trucks and trailers, post drivers, augers, welding equipment, and working capital for growing fence companies.
SBA Microloans
Startup fence companies can access SBA Microloans up to $50,000 for initial equipment purchases, tools, and a work truck through community-based lenders.
Government Contracting
HUB Certification
Fence companies should get HUB certified for preferences on state property fencing contracts, including TxDOT highway fencing, state facility perimeter fencing, and school district fencing projects. Learn about HUB certification.
Federal Fencing Contracts
Federal agencies contract for perimeter security fencing at military bases, federal buildings, and border infrastructure. SBA 8(a) and HUBZone certifications provide set-aside access.
Agricultural Fencing
Fence companies serving agricultural clients may benefit from USDA programs that fund fencing for conservation practices. Ranchers and farmers receiving EQIP funding for cross-fencing and wildlife management hire fence contractors for installation.
Workforce Programs

- Apprenticeship programs: Registered apprenticeships for fence installer certification and welding.
- On-the-job training: Workforce Solutions may subsidize wages during training for new installers.
