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.
This guide helps solo contractors, small business owners, and real-estate investors in Clallam County, Washington understand their financing options. It highlights local CDFIs, credit unions, and ITIN-friendly lenders that actually serve the Olympic Peninsula. Federal programs like SBA loans are covered as supporting context, not the main story. Take your time, compare your options, and lean on local intermediaries who know your community.

None of this is set by a lender. Washington 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 TAX0.471% – 1.75% B&O tax on gross
What Washington charges on top of federal. It is the first thing a lender reconciles when your numbers do not match your tax return.
- CORPORATE INCOME TAXNone (B&O tax)
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 TAX6.5% state · 2.9% 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 & Cloud · Aerospace & Boeing · Agriculture & Apples
Washington's three biggest sectors. A local lender reads your file against them — a trade that serves these is a trade they already understand.
