The CDFIs, credit unions, and microlenders that actually say yes — county by county, in two languages. We are not a lender. Nobody paid to be listed. And where a county has no good doors, we say so.

How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
Mohave County stretches from Kingman on I-40 down the Colorado River to Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City — a place built on trucking, tourism, retirees, river recreation, and the trades that keep all of it running in serious heat. This guide explains how business financing works here, who tends to qualify, what to gather, and which doors exist: one credit union based in Kingman, several branch credit unions, national ITIN-friendly nonprofits, and free public help.
It's a process, not a rejection.
Business financing is money you borrow, or sometimes receive as a grant, to start, run, or grow your work. For small operators here, that usually means a loan for a truck, trailer, or boat-service rig; a microloan for tools and inventory; or a line of credit to carry you through the slow part of the year.
Mohave County is really several economies sharing one county line. Kingman sits on I-40 and old Route 66, with trucking, warehousing, and manufacturing along the interstate. Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City live on the Colorado River — boating, tourism, vacation rentals, and a large retiree population.
Bullhead City faces the casinos in Laughlin, Nevada, across the river, and many households earn their living in hospitality there.
Across all of it, extreme summer heat keeps HVAC techs, pool servicers, roofers, and solar installers busy.
That shapes your income. A boat mechanic is slammed in summer and quiet in winter. A handyman serving retirees and winter visitors may see the opposite. Lenders understand seasonal businesses — if you show the full year.
Forget what the banks say.
Lenders look at your ability to repay, your credit history, your time in business, and whether the request fits what you do.
In Mohave County, people who most often get a yes include:
- HVAC, roofing, pool, and solar contractors with licensed, documented work
- Boat repair, marine supply, and river-recreation businesses with a few seasons of history
- Owner-operator truckers and small logistics outfits on the I-40 corridor
- Handymen, cleaners, and property managers serving retirees, winter visitors, and vacation rentals
- Restaurants, food trucks, and small shops in the river towns with steady card deposits
- Small investors renovating rentals
Seasonality is the story here. Show twelve months of deposits so a lender sees summer and winter together.
No SSN does not mean no. Some CDFIs and the national nonprofits below lend with an ITIN. Ask every institution directly.

Don't fall into these traps.
Fast money against future card sales, repaid from every deposit. In a seasonal business, a summer advance can drain your winter.
A second advance to cover the first is the beginning of the end. Call a CDFI or the SBDC first.
No legitimate lender charges a fee to “unlock” your approval.
Legal in Arizona and everywhere along the highways. Your truck is your business; do not pledge it for a short-term loan.
Working without a required license can void contracts and sink a loan application. Get licensed before you borrow to grow.
A notario público is not a lawyer in the United States. Do not pay one to prepare loan or immigration paperwork.
Anything that must be signed today can wait forever.
Everything below is set by Arizona, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 5 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.
The rules where you are.
LLCs and corporations file with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Trade names are registered with the Arizona Secretary of State.
Arizona requires most construction contractors to be licensed by the Registrar of Contractors. Lenders financing trade equipment will often ask for your license, and customers can look you up.
Arizona's version of sales tax is charged to the business. Many trades and retail businesses need a TPT license from the state revenue department.
The Arizona Commerce Authority runs small-business programs from time to time; the SBDC can tell you what is open.
If you do business in Nevada or California too, you may need registrations there as well. Confirm current rules with the state agency before you rely on them.
The short version.
- 01
Mohave County's economy runs on seasons, and so should your financing plan. Start with Mohave Community in Kingman or a branch credit union, show a full year of deposits, get your contractor license and registrations in order, and use free SBDC help to build your loan package. With an ITIN, the national nonprofits are real options.
