The Wyoming market

Wyoming’s business-friendly climate and an economy built on energy, agriculture, and tourism support a base of operators who own significant real estate — from Cheyenne and Casper to the resort markets. Conventional bank credit here can be slow and conservative.

We lend against Wyoming real estate for acquisitions, expansions, and refinances, including cross-collateralized and time-critical structures.

Collateral we lend against in Wyoming

Retail and mixed-use, industrial and flex, medical and professional office, hospitality, multi-tenant, land with a plan, and residential — including personal real estate an owner chooses to pledge on a business-purpose loan — plus vacant or partially leased buildings that a bank’s checklist won’t hold. If your business owns it and there’s a credible exit, it’s worth a conversation.

No real estate? Our receivables-backed lines of credit and factoring are secured by invoices instead, and they’re available nationwide — not only in the nine states where we lend against property. See receivables financing

Common questions

Borrowing in Wyoming — what people ask

Is BuildUp Capital a hard money lender in Wyoming?
If you’re searching for a hard money lender in Wyoming, you’ll likely find our terms comparable — but we’re a private lender building custom structures, not a traditional hard-money shop. Hard money underwrites the collateral alone; we underwrite the business, the exit plan, and the collateral, and we invest our own capital in every Wyoming loan we make.
How fast can you close on a Wyoming property?
Term sheets typically issue within 5 business days, with closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received. We’re a direct lender — the decision and the capital are ours — so there’s no committee between your Wyoming deal and an answer.
What do you lend on in Wyoming?
Business-purpose loans of $100,000 to $10,000,000 secured by commercial or residential real estate in statewide. Bridge, acquisition, cross-collateralized, second-lien, refinance, and partner-buyout structures, in first or second lien position.
What does a BuildUp loan cost in Wyoming?
Rates from 10%, priced to the risk in each deal, with a 1–4% origination fee stated in your term sheet before you proceed. Payments are monthly, interest-only across a 6–18 month term. Once you accept the term sheet, we collect an underwriting deposit before diligence begins, and it is credited toward your closing costs at closing. It exists so both sides are committing real resources to a deal we intend to close — the amount is stated in your term sheet before you sign anything. Rates depend on term, collateral, lien position, and borrower profile, and are subject to change. Not every borrower qualifies for the lowest rate.
What are the qualifications for a private money loan in Wyoming?
Real estate in Wyoming that your business owns (or is acquiring), a business purpose for the capital, a credible exit inside 6–18 months, and generally a 650+ credit score. Complexity in the financials is fine — add-backs, transition years, and multi-entity structures are normal in real businesses. What doesn’t work is a missing plan.
Can I pledge property I occupy, or my home, as collateral?
Yes — including property your own business occupies, which most private lenders won’t touch because their model is investor-only. We underwrite the operating business and its exit alongside the building. Owners also pledge personal real estate, a home included, when they choose to: these are business-purpose loans, not consumer mortgages, and the collateral decision is yours to make with your advisers. If you qualify, you’ll know quickly. If you don’t, we’ll help you understand where to go next.
Do you check credit?
No credit pull to see your result — the fit check on this site pulls nothing and doesn’t affect your credit. Credit is reviewed later in underwriting, as it is with any lender; we just don’t make you surrender a credit pull to find out whether we’re a fit at all.
