Mesaside Advances, a small-business funding broker in Cheyenne, Wyoming, explains financing by industry for Laramie County: construction, restaurants, medical and dental practices, and retail and wholesale inventory. Each page pairs county Census figures with the funding types that fit the sector's cash cycle. Partners make credit decisions and set rates and terms; agriculture and trucking are not covered.
Laramie County's business mix
| Sector | Employer establishments | Paid employees (March pay period) | Annual payroll |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 645 | 3,338 | $240.8 million |
| Health care and social assistance | 377 | 6,809 | $508.7 million |
| Retail trade | 374 | 6,416 | $252.5 million |
| Construction | 355 | 2,372 | $154.5 million |
| Accommodation and food services | 256 | 4,511 | $105.0 million |
| Wholesale trade | 125 | 988 | $66.6 million |
Professional services have the most employers, and health care and social assistance carries the largest payroll of any sector in the county. Retail employs nearly as many people as health care. All county employers together numbered 3,625 (same source).
Retailers and wholesalers
Laramie County had 374 retail and 125 wholesale employer establishments in 2023 (County Business Patterns 2023). Their main funding question is stock, so it is covered on the inventory financing page, which includes the county's retail and wholesale figures.
Outside these four sectors
Partners we work with do not cover agriculture or trucking, and we do not arrange funding for them. Other businesses, such as professional offices and service firms, can still describe their need; the funding type matters more than the sector label. Local data for the county is on the Cheyenne, WY page.
