North Dakota Business Loans
North Dakota Business Loans, $10K to $100M
You found the deal. Now you need the money… fast. I am Kevin Kermeen, and I arrange North Dakota business loans for owners across the state, from fast North Dakota small business loans to multi-million dollar commercial deals… a service rig in the Bakken, a grain operation outside Bismarck, or a production line in Fargo. I am a real business owner, not an ex-banker reading a script, and I move at the speed your deal actually needs.
Banks hand out umbrellas when the sun is shining, not when you are weathering the storm.
That is not a clever line, it is how banks actually behave. North Dakota has one of the strongest economies in the country per person, with a state GDP of $63.6 billion in 2025 and the sixth highest GDP per capita in the nation, yet profitable North Dakota companies still get told to wait 60 to 90 days for a maybe. By then the rig has moved, the equipment is sold, or the contract has gone to a competitor who moved faster.
That is why I exist. I arrange North Dakota business loans funded with other people’s money, so your own capital stays free to grow. Whatever you are doing in this state… adding service capacity in the Bakken oil patch, financing a fleet of grain trucks near Minot, buying a building in Fargo, or covering payroll while you wait on a wheat contract… there is a program built for it, and I move at the speed your deal needs.
Oil and gas extraction is the single largest slice of the North Dakota economy at about $10.9 billion, agriculture drives more than $41 billion in annual impact, and small businesses make up 98.8 percent of all employers in the state. Most of what I write here is North Dakota small business loans for those owners, scaling up to North Dakota SBA loans when the move is bigger, like buying a building or an existing company. The owners who win North Dakota are usually the ones who can move on capital first. North Dakota business loans through me exist to make sure that owner is you, not the competitor down the road who happened to have cash on hand.
North Dakota Business Loans for the Industries That Run This State
North Dakota’s economy is built on things that get drilled, grown and moved, and all of it runs on capital. Oil and gas extraction alone contributes roughly $10.9 billion to the state’s GDP, more than any other single sector. Here are the industries I write the most North Dakota business loans for, with financing matched to how each one actually makes money.
North Dakota is the third largest oil producer in the United States, pumping about 1.17 million barrels a day from roughly 19,600 producing wells, and the oil and gas industry drives some $48.8 billion in annual activity and more than 63,000 jobs. I finance the service rigs, trucks, water handling and field equipment the Bakken supply chain runs on. North Dakota oil loans and broader North Dakota business loans fund the gear that keeps the patch producing.
Equipment financing →North Dakota leads the nation in spring wheat, durum wheat, canola, flaxseed, dry edible beans and sunflowers, and agriculture carries a $41 billion annual impact. These operations spend long before revenue lands. I fund tractors, grain trucks, storage and the working capital that bridges seasonal cash flow, so North Dakota agriculture loans match the timing of planting, harvest and the grain contract. North Dakota business loans for ag are built around your season, not the bank’s calendar.
Working capital →Manufacturing is roughly 7.3 percent of state output, anchored by Doosan Bobcat, AGCO and food processors like Dakota Growers Pasta, plus a fast-growing unmanned aircraft and drone cluster around Grand Forks. I finance the CNC lines, automation, robotics and facility expansion these shops and their suppliers need to win bigger contracts. North Dakota business loans put that equipment to work fast.
Manufacturing financing →Beyond oil, North Dakota runs on wind power and a wave of new energy and technology investment. Applied Digital signed a $5 billion AI infrastructure lease for 200 megawatts of capacity, and Fargo is emerging as an AI hub of the Northern Plains. That build-out feeds local contractors, and my North Dakota business loans finance the equipment, crews and commercial real estate riding the wave.
Construction financing →North Dakota moves oil, grain, livestock and manufactured goods across the country every day, with pipeline and rail carrying the bulk of Williston Basin volume. I fund the trucks, trailers and distribution capacity carriers need, and the invoice factoring that turns slow-paying freight bills into same-week cash. North Dakota business loans keep these carriers rolling.
Auto and transportation →Fargo, Bismarck and Grand Forks are the healthcare, finance and retail centers of the state, with finance, insurance and real estate forming the second largest slice of GDP at about $7.9 billion. I finance the clinics, agencies, advisory firms and professional practices growing inside those metros, from equipment to acquisitions to working capital. North Dakota business loans cover all three.

Every Program Behind My North Dakota Business Loans
My North Dakota business loans run on eight core programs, one direct line to me. From fast North Dakota small business loans like equipment and working capital, to North Dakota commercial loans for property, to North Dakota SBA loans for acquisitions, tap any program for full details, ranges and timelines.
Regulatory and Industry Framework
Good decisions start with real sources. Before you sign anything, these are the authorities worth reading on North Dakota business loans, SBA programs and the state economy behind them.
Federal Loan Programs
The U.S. Small Business Administration sets the rules, rates and guarantees behind SBA financing. Many North Dakota business loans I arrange use SBA 7(a) or 504 structures.
State Economic Development
The North Dakota Department of Commerce tracks the incentives, expansions and target sectors driving the state. It is the clearest picture of where North Dakota business loans are funding real growth.
Energy and Agriculture
The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources reports the Bakken oil and gas numbers, and the North Dakota Department of Agriculture reports the wheat, canola and crop figures that anchor the rural economy.
North Dakota Business Loans, Statewide
I arrange North Dakota business loans in every corner of the state, not just the big metros. Fargo business loans make up my heaviest volume, but distance is never the problem, because every file runs through me by phone.
Most of my North Dakota volume runs through Fargo and neighboring West Fargo, the largest metro and the state’s commercial, healthcare and emerging tech center, so Fargo business loans are my single biggest lane. Bismarck and Mandan anchor government, healthcare and energy services along the Missouri River, and Bismarck business loans run heavy for those owners. Grand Forks drives food processing, defense and the University of North Dakota aerospace and unmanned aircraft cluster, while Minot powers energy, agriculture and the air base economy on the northern tier. I also actively fund owners in Williston and Dickinson out in the Bakken oil patch, plus Jamestown and Wahpeton. Wherever you are in North Dakota, the program and the speed of my North Dakota business loans are the same.
How North Dakota Owners Put Their Business Loans to Work
North Dakota business loans are not one product, they are a toolbox. The right tool depends on what you are trying to do this quarter.
North Dakota Small Business Loans for Everyday Growth
The most common reason owners call me is speed on equipment. An oilfield service company in Williston landing a new contract cannot wait three months for a bank to bless a vac truck or a service rig, so I arrange equipment financing that funds in 24 to 72 hours and lets the machine start paying for itself immediately. Agriculture, food processing and construction owners use the same path for tractors, grain trucks, loaders and processing equipment, often pairing it with a working capital line to cover crews and inputs before the harvest or the invoice clears. These everyday North Dakota small business loans are about momentum, keeping a profitable company moving while the opportunity is still on the table. North Dakota small business loans like these are the bread and butter of what I do.
North Dakota SBA Loans for Property and Acquisitions
When the goal is bigger and longer term, North Dakota SBA loans usually fit best. SBA 7(a) and 504 structures carry long terms and competitive rates, which makes them the smartest path for buying a building, acquiring an existing North Dakota business, or refinancing expensive short-term debt into something stable. A Fargo insurance agency that wants to own its office instead of renting, or a Bismarck contractor buying a yard and shop, is exactly the kind of deal I take through the SBA silo. North Dakota SBA loans are also how many owners finally buy out a retiring partner or a competitor without draining cash reserves.
North Dakota Commercial Loans and Fargo Business Loans
Real estate is the other half of my North Dakota business loans volume. North Dakota commercial loans cover office, retail, warehouse, industrial, multi-family and ground-up construction from $150K to $100M, with a term sheet usually in 3 to 5 days. Fargo business loans run heavy here, since the metro carries the healthcare, finance and tech growth, but I write the same North Dakota commercial loans in Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot and statewide. Owners who need to move before permanent financing is ready use a bridge loan to lock the property, then refinance once the deal is stabilized. And when cash is simply tied up in slow-paying receivables, which is common for the trucking and oil-service firms feeding the Bakken, invoice factoring turns those unpaid invoices into same-week cash. North Dakota commercial loans and Fargo business loans are the heavy end of the toolbox.
The mistake I see most often is owners assuming a bank turndown means the deal is dead. It rarely does. A bank says no because the deal does not fit its one box, not because the business is bad. My job is to match that same deal to the one lender, out of more than 75, whose box it does fit. That is the entire difference between bank financing and North Dakota business loans arranged through an independent advisor, and it is usually the difference between closing and watching the opportunity walk.
Why Borrow Through Me Instead of a North Dakota Bank
North Dakota business loans from a real owner, not a call center.
I am not an ex-banker. I have owned the businesses and the real estate brokerages, so I read your deal from your side of the table. When you call about North Dakota business loans, you get me… one person who answers the phone, knows your file, and has a lender network deep enough to fund $10K to $100M across all 50 states.
Banks make you fit their box. I find the program and the lender that fit you. I just signed a capital partner that takes my ceiling to $100M, so the size of the deal is rarely the problem. The speed is the difference, and it is why the right North Dakota business loans close in days with me instead of months. And I never text you, I call you, 7 days a week on Arizona Time.
If a bank has you waiting, stop waiting. Don’t Beg the Bank! Call me and I will tell you straight whether I can fund your deal and how fast.
When the Bank Walked, I Closed
These were not North Dakota deals, but multi-family commercial real estate funds the same in Fargo as it does in Dallas, and so do my North Dakota business loans. This is how I work when the clock is running, and it is exactly how I approach North Dakota business loans of every size.
$43M apartment complex, closed in 19 days
A $43 million multi-family acquisition in Dallas had a bank that walked. I brought in an institutional capital partner, restructured the deal and closed it in 19 days. The kind of speed most owners are told is impossible.
$4.2M apartment deal, bank quit 10 days out
A $4.2 million multi-family purchase was 10 days from closing when the borrower’s bank pulled the umbrella. He called me. I funded it in 24 days into a 20-year fixed, and it is now a performing asset in his portfolio.
How Fast Each North Dakota Program Funds
Speed is the whole point of using me instead of a bank. North Dakota small business loans can fund in 24 to 72 hours, while North Dakota commercial loans get a term sheet in 3 to 5 days. Here is what fast North Dakota business loans actually look like by program.
| Program | Loan Range | Speed to Funding |

| Equipment Financing | From $10K | 24 to 72 hours |

North Dakota Business Loans, Common Questions
How much can I borrow with North Dakota business loans?
From $10,000 for working capital, equipment and lines of credit, up to $100 million for commercial real estate and investment property. Typical small business financing runs $10K to $5M, while SBA programs reach $5.5 million and large commercial real estate or development deals go higher. All 50 states.

What does it cost to work with you?
I charge you no fees. I am paid by the lender at closing, so my interest is in getting you funded, not in collecting from you. Some partner lenders may require a commitment fee or deposit when you accept a term sheet. That is the lender’s charge, not mine, and it is always disclosed before you commit.
What industries in North Dakota do you fund?
Oil and gas and the Bakken supply chain, agriculture including wheat, canola, sunflowers and dry edible beans, energy and wind, advanced manufacturing and unmanned aircraft, food processing, transportation and freight, healthcare and professional services. If your North Dakota business generates revenue, there is likely a program for it.
Do you offer North Dakota SBA loans?
Yes. North Dakota SBA loans are a core part of what I arrange, including the full silo: 7(a), 504, Express, Startup, Microloans, CAPLines, Made in America and Export. SBA financing offers long terms and competitive rates, and it is often the smartest structure for buying property or an existing North Dakota business. Many North Dakota SBA loans I close are building purchases and partner buyouts.
Can I qualify with less-than-perfect credit?
Often, yes. I structure deals around the real business, its revenue and its collateral, not just a credit score. Many of my North Dakota business loans go to owners a bank turned down. The way to know is one quick conversation.
Which North Dakota cities do you serve?
All of them. Fargo business loans and Bismarck business loans make up my heaviest volume, alongside West Fargo and Mandan, but I actively fund owners in Grand Forks, Minot, Williston, Dickinson, Jamestown, Wahpeton and rural counties statewide. Every file runs through me directly, so location is never an obstacle.
Do you fund commercial real estate in North Dakota?
Yes. I finance commercial real estate from $150,000 to $100 million across North Dakota, including office, retail, warehouse, industrial, multi-family and ground-up construction. Term sheets typically come in 3 to 5 days.
What documents do I need to apply?
To start, very little: your name, your phone number, how much you need and what it is for. For most programs I will then ask for a few months of business bank statements and basic business information. I keep the paperwork as light as the deal allows.
Are you a bank?
No. I am an independent nationwide commercial loan advisor with a network of more than 75 lenders. That is the advantage. A bank can only offer you its own product, while I shop your North Dakota business loans across many lenders to find the one that actually fits.

The North Dakota small business loans owners ask for most are equipment financing, working capital and business lines of credit, usually from $10,000 to $500,000, funded in 24 to 72 hours. They cover machinery, oilfield gear, vehicles, inventory, payroll and cash flow gaps without draining reserves. For bigger moves, owners step up to SBA or commercial real estate financing.

North Dakota commercial loans fund property and larger capital needs: buying or refinancing office, retail, warehouse, industrial and multi-family buildings, ground-up construction, and acquisitions, from $150,000 to $100 million. They are the heavier end of my North Dakota business loans, with a term sheet usually in 3 to 5 days.
