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 small business owners and solo contractors in Jackson County, West Virginia understand their financing options. It covers who qualifies, what documents to gather, and which local lenders and organizations actually serve this area — including ITIN-friendly and community-focused resources. Federal programs like SBA loans are explained as background context, while the real focus is on the local intermediaries who can walk you through the process. We also point out common traps to avoid so you can borrow safely and confidently.

None of this is set by a lender. West Virginia 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 TAX6.5%
What West Virginia charges on top of federal. It is the first thing a lender reconciles when your numbers do not match your tax return.
- CORPORATE INCOME TAX6.5%
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 TAX6.0% state · 0.55% 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 HERECoal & Energy · Chemicals & Manufacturing · Tourism & Outdoor
West Virginia's three biggest sectors. A local lender reads your file against them — a trade that serves these is a trade they already understand.
