Oakwick Lending Group, a small-business funding broker in Concord, NC, works with Cabarrus County businesses in the sectors its lending partners have confirmed: construction, restaurants, medical and dental practices, and retail and wholesale. Each industry page combines Census County Business Patterns data with the funding types that suit that sector. Every credit decision rests with a lending partner.

Retailers and wholesalers
Retail trade had 754 employer establishments in Cabarrus County in 2023 and wholesale trade 245 (County Business Patterns 2023). Both tie up cash in goods before they sell, which is the job inventory financing is built for. A separate retail page will follow once it can add something the inventory page does not already cover.
Businesses outside these sectors
Partners fund other kinds of businesses too, but agriculture and trucking are not among the sectors they have confirmed to us, so we do not take those requests. For anything else, start with the comparison of six funding types or call (980) 352-5260. The county's business profile has more local data.
