Six funding options

6 options Ward County, ND businesses use to carry a dip in cash, each repaid or collected its own way.

Working Capital

A lump sum for wages, supplier bills and the stretch between finishing work and getting paid for it.

  1. Business Term Loans

    Borrow once, repay on a set schedule: remodels, a second location, buying out a practice or an agency book.

  2. Business Line of Credit

    A revolving limit: draw when a month dips, pay it down when receivables land, draw again.

  3. Inventory Financing

    Money for shelves, parts rooms and fuel tanks, often secured by the stock it buys.

  4. Equipment Financing

    Loans and leases for service trucks, lifts, kitchen lines, dental chairs and oilfield iron, new or used.

  5. Merchant Cash Advance

    A sale of a share of future receipts, not a loan.
