Kennewick, WA owners can borrow from national and regional banks, Washington credit unions, and non-bank lenders that work online.

For a salon owner, the choice often comes down to the purchase. A bank may finance a suite build-out on a term loan; an equipment lender may finance the stations against themselves. The salon page covers both.
