Wheatland Finance forwards the request, leaving the funding decision to its partners.
Wheatland Finance in Bullhead City, Arizona compares six funding types for contractors, builders, kitchens and clinics and hands each request to funding partners.
Secured vs unsecured business loan for plumbing and HVAC contractors in Mohave County, AZ
A secured business loan is backed by something the lender can claim if payments stop: the van, the pipe threader, the receivables or a piece of property. An unsecured loan has no specific collateral, though most still carry a personal guarantee from the owner. For a plumbing and HVAC contractor in Mohave County, AZ, equipment financing is the plainest secured case, because the condenser test rig or the jetter secures its own loan.
Unsecured money tends to cost more and run shorter, because the lender carries more risk. The county's 102 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors with paid employees in 2023 (CBP, NAICS 238220) range from one-truck shops to crews of dozens; 56 of them had fewer than five employees, and a small shop with little equipment may find that an unsecured request is the only kind it can make. The construction page sets out the draw and machine side for contractors.

| Type | Pays for | Paid back by |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment financing | Sprayers, trailers, loaders and HVAC stock | Monthly installments over the machine's working life |
| Working capital loan | Wages, fuel and supplier bills between draws | Fixed daily, weekly or monthly payments |
| Business line of credit | Materials bought job after job | Paying down the drawn balance; interest on what is drawn |
| Term loan | Movable equipment, a second crew or a business purchase | Level monthly payments over years |
| Inventory financing | Stocked tile, cabinets, parts | Paid down as the stocked goods are installed or sold |
| Merchant cash advance (not a loan) | A short gap for a card-heavy business | A share of each card settlement until a fixed total is collected |
Commercial real estate loans and SBA programs sit outside what Wheatland arranges; the six types above are the full list.
What a business term loan is, for Bullhead City, AZ finish contractors
A business term loan is a lump sum repaid in fixed installments over a set number of months. A finish contractor in Bullhead City, AZ might take one to open a shop with a showroom, buy a second set of tools for a new crew, or buy out a retiring competitor. The rate can be fixed or variable, and the term usually tracks what the money buys: a few years for tools, longer for a business purchase.
The term loan page works through a restaurant purchase and a down payment example.
What is a business line of credit for a Bullhead City, AZ physician office?
A business line of credit is a limit the business draws on and repays, then draws again. For a physician office in Bullhead City, AZ, the line can carry payroll and supplies while insurance payments trail the visits by weeks. Interest runs only on the balance in use, and many lines carry an annual or draw fee as well.
Mohave County, AZ had 136 offices of physicians with paid employees in 2023, and 75 of those had fewer than five employees (CBP, NAICS 6211). The line of credit page covers draws, renewals and what a partner reviews.
Is equipment financing a loan for Mohave County, AZ finish contractors?
Yes, in most cases. An equipment loan is a loan secured by the machine, and it sits on the balance sheet as debt. An equipment lease is a rental contract, though under current accounting rules most leases longer than a year also appear on the balance sheet, so ask an accountant how one would show up. For a finish contractor in Mohave County, AZ, the practical difference is ownership at the end.
The equipment financing page sets a loan against a fair market value lease.
What is a merchant cash advance for a Mohave County, AZ finish contractor?
A merchant cash advance is a purchase of part of a business's future card sales: a provider pays a sum now and collects a fixed total from each card settlement until that total is in. It is not a loan, has no interest rate, and the cost is set by a factor. A finish contractor in Mohave County, AZ who bills by invoice and takes few card payments rarely fits the model; a restaurant with steady card sales fits it better.
The merchant cash advance page explains factors and holdback percentages in dollars.
