The Orchardmark blog publishes practical articles for Lackawanna County business owners. Orchardmark Financial, a small-business funding broker in Scranton, Pennsylvania, covers clinic financing, inventory financing types, merchant cash advances versus loans and restaurant payroll, each with local Census data. Each credit decision, rate and term belongs to the lending partner.
What these articles are for
Each article takes one situation, such as a clinic adding a room or a restaurant covering payroll, and works through the options with Lackawanna County figures alongside. They complement the Pennsylvania guides, which cover records and registrations, and the county's employer profile on the city page.
Clinics: equipment, space and payroll
Health care is Lackawanna County's largest sector by establishments and payroll. How clinics fund equipment, space and payroll treats those as three separate funding decisions.
Stores: the types of inventory financing
From a stock loan to a revolving line to floor plan financing, types of inventory financing for county retailers explains which fits which kind of store.
Advances and loans compared
A merchant cash advance is not a loan, and the differences go well beyond the name. Merchant cash advance or business loan compares how each takes money back, what each costs and what each reports.
Restaurants: payroll between busy weeks
Funding payroll for restaurants covers when borrowing for payroll makes sense, which structure suits it and when it is a warning sign.
