Clarkston, WA is in Washington, not Idaho
Clarkston is a city in Asotin County, Washington, about 3.8 straight-line miles west-northwest of 235 Thain Rd. It shares a valley with Lewiston, ID but answers to a different state government, a different county and its own city hall. Nothing on this page uses Nez Perce County figures to describe it.

Clarkston, WA sectors our partners fund
Our partners have confirmed appetite for four kinds of business: contractors and construction trades, restaurants and food service, medical and dental practices, and retailers and wholesalers that carry stock. If your Clarkston, WA business is something else, call and ask before you spend time on paperwork.
Paperwork partners commonly ask for
- Business checking statements covering roughly the last quarter or two
- Your most recent business tax return
- Government-issued ID for each owner
- Your articles of organization or incorporation and the EIN letter
- A simple schedule of current business debt and monthly payments
- The equipment quote, contract or purchase order the funding is for
No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.
The steps after your first call
- Reach us at (208) 439-3933 or through the contact form. When we call back, the first questions are simple: what the funding is for, how long the business has operated and its rough revenue.
- We explain which funding types fit that use and what partners usually need to see. Nothing is submitted without your go-ahead.
- With your permission, we take the request to lending partners that offer that kind of funding. Each partner reviews it and makes its own credit decision.
- Any offer comes from the partner. Read the total cost, the payment schedule and the terms before deciding; turning it down is always an option.
