Lowell, AR in Benton County, AR
This is Lowell, Arkansas, not Lowell, Massachusetts. The town lies entirely in Benton County, AR, so Washington County figures used elsewhere on this site do not describe it. Nearly all of Lowell, AR, 99.5 percent of its land, is in ZIP 72745, and the town covers about 30 percent of that ZIP's land (U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZIP code relationship files).
A few large employers, many small firms
In 2023, ZIP 72745 had 369 employer establishments with 17,996 paid employees and about $1.17 billion in annual payroll (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023; the Census Bureau rates the employee and payroll figures medium confidence). That is roughly 49 employees per establishment, which only happens when a small number of very large employers account for most of the jobs. At the same time, 46.3 percent of establishments had fewer than five employees.
In other words, the ZIP's payroll total says little about the typical business in it. A two-person electrical contractor in Lowell, AR faces the same cash timing as one anywhere else in Northwest Arkansas.

Who Windwood Funding Group works with in Lowell, AR
Our partners have confirmed appetite for four kinds of business: contractors and construction trades, restaurants and food service, medical and dental practices, and retailers and wholesalers that carry stock. If your Lowell, AR business is something else, call and ask before you spend time on paperwork.
Paperwork partners commonly ask for
- Recent business bank statements (partners often ask for three to six months)
- Your most recent business tax return
- An up-to-date P&L and balance sheet, even if you prepare them yourself
- A driver's license or passport for each owner
- Details of any loans, leases or advances the business already carries
- A written quote or invoice if the money is for equipment
No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.
The steps after your first call
- It starts with a call to (479) 214-9967 or the short contact form. On the phone we cover the purpose of the funds, time in business and approximate monthly revenue.
- We walk through the funding types that suit that purpose and the paperwork partners tend to ask for. Nothing goes out until you say so.
- Once you agree, the request goes to partners that provide that type of funding. The credit decision belongs to each partner.
- If a partner makes an offer, you compare the total cost, payment schedule and terms. You are never obligated to accept.
Our office is at 20 E Center St, Fayetteville, AR 72701.
