Grand Junction Market
Grand Junction is the Western Slope's hub — and the most underserved business lending market in Colorado. The city sits at the intersection of energy, agriculture, and outdoor recreation. Oil and gas operations in the Piceance Basin and surrounding areas drive massive equipment and fleet demand. Colorado wine country and agriculture contribute billions in economic output. And Grand Junction has become a destination for mountain biking, camping, and outdoor tourism.
As the regional center for western Colorado, Grand Junction provides healthcare, retail, legal, and professional services for a vast geographic area. Mesa County's economy is diversified enough to weather energy cycles, but the businesses here face a challenge that Front Range businesses don't: limited local banking options. The nearest major bank branches are hours away.
That's exactly why Basecamp exists. A trucking company in Grand Junction should have the same access to 70+ lenders as a trucking company in Denver. Through our network, they do.

“On the Western Slope, your banking options are limited. When we needed $1.8M for fleet expansion, the local banks couldn't handle the size. Basecamp connected us with equipment lenders who understood oilfield services. Funded in 14 days. We didn't know that kind of speed was possible out here.”

Grand Junction is exactly why I built Basecamp Funding. A trucking company on the Western Slope shouldn't have fewer financing options than one in Denver. An oilfield services hauler needing $1.8M in equipment shouldn't have to drive to the Front Range to find a lender. Through our network, they don't. 70+ lenders, one application, and a specialist who understands western Colorado's industries.
Here's what works on the Western Slope: equipment financing at 10% down gets trucks and heavy equipment on site fast. For agricultural processing, capital stacking handles the equipment, the facility, and the working capital for seasonal inventory. And Grand Junction's property prices mean your dollar goes further here than anywhere else in Colorado — SBA 504 at 10% down is a strong move.
