No agenda

We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.

Based here vs. serves here

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.

Where this comes from

Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Jan 2026), NCUA credit union data (Mar 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. No listing is paid.

THE GUIDE

This guide helps solo contractors and small business owners in Rio Grande County, Colorado find trustworthy financing — from local credit unions and CDFIs to SBA-connected lenders and state programs. We focus on the local intermediaries who actually serve this rural San Luis Valley community, including options for ITIN holders. Federal programs like SBA loans are explained as useful tools, but your first call should be to a local lender or nonprofit that knows this region. Take your time, compare options, and never sign anything you don't fully understand.
