Dalton Market
Dalton is the Carpet Capital of the World. Shaw Industries, Mohawk, Engineered Floors — the global flooring industry runs through this northwest Georgia city. Manufacturing dominates the economy and creates demand across every supporting industry.
A growing Hispanic small business community is adding diversity to the local economy. Restaurants, services, and retail businesses are expanding to serve both the manufacturing workforce and the broader community.
Dalton's cost of business is extremely low. Industrial and commercial space is a fraction of Atlanta's cost. For manufacturing businesses, Dalton offers proximity to I-75 and a trained workforce at a price that's hard to beat.

Our team works with Dalton business owners in a market that runs on one thing: manufacturing. The carpet and flooring industry is Dalton's economy, and every manufacturing company, supplier, and distributor needs capital to stay competitive. Equipment purchases in the millions, fleet expansions, warehouse acquisitions — the capital demand is constant.
Here's what works in Dalton: Section 179. A $1.8M equipment purchase with 10% down and a $666K tax deduction changes the math completely. Our team structures equipment financing with Section 179 in mind from day one. Run your numbers through our commercial funding calculator to see what the real cost looks like after tax savings.
