Brookharbor Lenders in Charleston, West Virginia takes requests from every kind of business except trucking and agriculture. Fourteen industry pages are linked from here, with Census-based notes on other Kanawha County trades.
Health Care and Law: Charleston, WV Sectors With Many Professional Offices
Kanawha County, WV had 138 offices of physicians, 69 offices of dentists and 102 offices of other health practitioners with employees in 2023, and legal services counted 160, of which 108 had a ZIP 25301 address (County Business Patterns). These offices buy equipment that lasts for years, wait on insurers or clients for payment, and change hands through buy-ins. The medical, dental, chiropractic and therapy and law firm pages cover each.
Restaurants, Retail and Construction Pages for Kanawha County, WV
Restaurants and other eating places were the largest four-digit industry in the county in 2023, with 347 employer establishments. Retail trade had 613, the most of any sector, and construction 319 (County Business Patterns). The restaurant, retail and construction pages cover kitchen equipment, store stock and fixtures, and contractor cash flow, each with county counts. Together they cover purchases such as a walk-in cooler or a fryer line, a new set of display fixtures, and a skid steer bought before the next job pays.
Salons, Auto Repair, Grocery and Insurance Pages for Kanawha County, WV Owners
Beauty salons, nail salons and barber shops with employees numbered 40 in 2023 (our sum of three codes), auto repair and maintenance 100, grocery stores 33 including 8 convenience stores, and agencies, brokerages and other insurance services 93 (County Business Patterns). Each has its own page: salons, auto repair, grocery stores and insurance agencies. Their purchases run from styling stations and lifts to freezer cases and a book of renewals bought from a retiring agent.
Child Care, Hotels and Landscaping: The Smaller Kanawha County, WV Pages
Three pages cover smaller county counts. Child day care services had 31 employer establishments and 707 employees in 2023; traveler accommodation, the code for hotels, motels and inns, had 28; landscaping services had 30 (County Business Patterns). See daycare center financing, hotel loans and landscaping equipment financing. A center adding a classroom, a hotel refreshing its guest rooms and a crew buying a second mower each have a section of their own on those pages, with invented worked examples.
Gyms and Fitness Studios: Covered Here Below the Page Threshold
Fitness and recreational sports centers had 17 employer establishments in Kanawha County, WV in 2023, with 265 employees (County Business Patterns), too few for a page of their own. Studios buy racks, cardio machines and flooring, and some buy an existing gym with its members. The equipment financing page has a gym equipment section, and the gym owner article covers what to prepare before asking.
Bars, Pharmacies and Gas Stations Counted in Kanawha County, WV Without Pages
Some trades appear in the county count without a page here. Drinking places had 24 employer establishments in 2023, pharmacies and drug stores 46, and gasoline stations 72, of which 71 had convenience stores (County Business Patterns). Their purchases still fit the six funding types: coolers and draft systems point to equipment financing, store stock to inventory financing and card-heavy bridges to a comparison with a merchant cash advance.
Why Kanawha County, WV Trucking Has No Page and Mining Firms Use the General Form
This site does not arrange funding for trucking or agriculture, so there is no trucking page, even though truck transportation had 66 employer establishments in the county in 2023. Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction had 35 (County Business Patterns); those firms have no page of their own, but they can send a request like any other trade, for needs such as working capital, an office move or a building purchase. The six funding types are the same for every trade.
Where These Kanawha County, WV Establishment Counts Come From
Employer counts come from the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023, using NAICS 2017 codes, and the ZIP figures from ZIP Code Business Patterns. Counts of businesses without employees come from Nonemployer Statistics for 2024, a separate program using NAICS 2022 codes; the two are never added together on this site. Where a figure combines codes, the page says so, and ZIP figures are always labeled with the ZIP number.
