Restaurant and repair shop notes for Sterling, CO

Equipment, remodels, parts and payroll for two trades with their own funding questions.

  • Restaurant equipment financing: how it works for Sterling, CO restaurants

    Restaurant equipment financing pays for ranges, fryers, hood systems, walk-in coolers, dish machines and ice makers, with the equipment as security. A restaurant replacing one failed cooler and a restaurant fitting out a new kitchen send very different requests, so the quote and the purpose matter. Restaurants and other eating places counted 32 employer establishments with 510 paid employees in Logan County, CO in 2023 (County Business Patterns). See equipment financing for how a machine loan is priced.

  • Restaurant renovation loan: how it works for Sterling, CO restaurants

    A restaurant renovation loan is usually a term loan: new booths, flooring, lighting, restrooms or a patio, paid back over years from the sales the remodel supports. The kitchen equipment in the same project can go on equipment financing. Full-service restaurants numbered 15 and limited-service restaurants 13 among Logan County, CO employer establishments in 2023 (County Business Patterns). The restaurant funding article works through one plan.

  • Auto shop financing for Sterling, CO auto repair shops

    Auto shop financing covers lifts, alignment machines, diagnostic scan tools, tire equipment and paint booths through equipment financing, and parts stock and payroll through a line of credit or working capital. Auto repair and maintenance shops counted 19 employer establishments with 81 paid employees in Logan County, CO in 2023, and 12 of the 19 had fewer than five employees (County Business Patterns). A two-bay shop and a body shop with a booth ask for different amounts, so the request should name the equipment.

  • Auto repair business loans for Sterling, CO auto repair shops

    Auto repair business loans also cover buying a shop: the bays, the tools, the customer list and sometimes the building. A term loan carries the purchase price, and the buyer brings the seller's tax returns, the equipment list and the lease. Shop payroll in Logan County, CO came to $4.1 million in 2023 for the 19 auto repair employers (County Business Patterns). The repair shop article covers lifts, scan tools and buyouts.

NAICS codes and Census years behind the Logan County, CO notes

Programs, years and codes behind each figure on this hub.

    Each employer count here is taken from County Business Patterns 2023, the Census Bureau series coded by NAICS 2017, for Logan County, Colorado. They count establishments with paid employees and leave out the self-employed and most farm operators. Counts of businesses without paid employees come from Nonemployer Statistics for 2024, a separate program that uses NAICS 2022; the two are never added together.
