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.
Modoc County is one of California's most rural and sparsely populated counties, and finding the right financing takes knowing where to look locally. This guide walks solo contractors, small business owners, and real-estate investors through the financing landscape — from CDFI lenders and credit unions that actually serve the area, to state programs built for rural economies like Modoc's. Whether you have a Social Security Number or an ITIN, there are real options available to you. Take your time, compare what's out there, and never rush into a loan you haven't fully read.

BEST FORA personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing, and buying, repairing or refinancing a home.The rules where you are.
None of this is set by a lender. California sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.
- BUSINESS TAX8.84%
What California charges on top of federal. It is the first thing a lender reconciles when your numbers do not match your tax return.
- CORPORATE INCOME TAX8.84%
It depends on how the business is registered. A sole proprietor almost never pays it — worth knowing which side of that line you are on before you apply.
- SALES TAX7.25% state · 1.7% avg local
What you collect on a job, and what your materials cost. It is the gap between a bid that holds and one that does not.
- WHERE THE MONEY IS HERETechnology & Software · Entertainment & Media · Agriculture & Wine
California's three biggest sectors. A local lender reads your file against them — a trade that serves these is a trade they already understand.
