Direct Answer
Wyoming small businesses can access merchant cash advances (500+ FICO, timing set by the funding provider after review), invoice factoring, online term loans, equipment financing (mining, energy, agriculture), SBA 7(a) loans, and Wyoming Business Council programs. No commercial financing disclosure law in WY. Wyoming produces more coal than any other US state: the Powder River Basin (Gillette / Campbell County) alone produces over 40% of all US coal. Oil and gas (Casper, Wind River, Pinedale) and Jackson Hole's luxury resort economy (one of the wealthiest resort markets in the US) are the other dominant sectors. No state income tax and no corporate income tax make Wyoming attractive for business formation.
