This guide helps Davis County residents — including solo contractors, small investors, and Spanish-speaking neighbors — understand personal financing options available right here in their community. We focus on the local intermediaries: credit unions, CDFIs, and ITIN-friendly lenders who actually serve Bountiful, Layton, Kaysville, and the rest of Davis County. Federal programs like FHA or SBA loans are useful context, but your first call should be to a local partner who knows your neighborhood. Take your time, compare your options, and never let anyone rush you into signing anything.
Every institution below 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.
Zero-interest lending circles and credit building. SSN or ITIN accepted. Works through nonprofit partners across the country.
Nonprofit small-business lender. Accepts ITIN in place of SSN. Serves most states, in English and Spanish.
Microloans for women entrepreneurs. Requires photo ID and proof of address — no SSN requirement. Branches in major metro areas.
