One ZIP, two counties
Almost all of Swansboro, 98.0 percent of its land, lies in ZIP 28584, but the town is only about 6.4 percent of that ZIP. The same ZIP contains all of the land of three Carteret County towns, Cedar Point, Peletier and Cape Carteret (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 ZIP-to-place relationship file). So ZIP 28584 figures describe a business area that crosses the county line, and Onslow County statistics alone do not capture it.
In 2023 the ZIP had 429 employer establishments, 4,300 paid employees and an annual payroll of about $139.1 million (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). That is the largest employer count among the towns with their own page on this site.
What the ZIP's businesses do
| Sector | Establishments | Share with fewer than 5 employees |
|---|---|---|
| Retail trade | 78 | 33.3% |
| Construction | 59 | 66.1% |
| Accommodation and food services | 56 | 17.9% |
| Other services | 40 | 47.5% |
| Health care and social assistance | 38 | 50.0% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 36 | 58.3% |
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023. Food businesses here are seldom tiny: fewer than one in five had under five employees, so payroll is a large, fixed weekly cost for most of them.
Matching the mix to funding
- Retailers buying stock ahead of sales usually look at inventory financing or a line of credit, depending on how often they restock.
- Contractors, two-thirds of them with fewer than five employees, tend to need equipment financing and a way to carry costs between draws.
- Restaurants with larger payrolls tend to ask about working capital for slow weeks and equipment financing for kitchen replacements.
- Health care practices ask about clinical equipment and about bridging the wait for insurance payments.
The ZIP also had 36 professional, scientific and technical firms, a Census category that covers offices such as accountants, engineers and designers. Firms like these tend to ask less about equipment and more about timing: a large client invoice outstanding while salaries are due. A business line of credit is built for that pattern.
Self-employment estimate
The Census survey estimates that 19.1 percent of Swansboro's employed residents are self-employed, but the margin of error is 9.9 points (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates). With a range that wide, the figure supports no firm comparison with the county or the state, and we do not draw one.

The Swansboro, NC owners we usually hear from
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 Swansboro, NC business is something else, call and ask before you spend time on paperwork.
Paperwork partners commonly ask for
- Business checking statements covering roughly the last quarter or two
- Last year's filed tax return for the business
- An up-to-date P&L and balance sheet, even if you prepare them yourself
- Government-issued ID for each owner
- Formation documents and your EIN
- A list of existing business debts and payments
No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.
From first call to a partner's decision
- Reach us at (910) 348-5386 or through the form. The first questions are simple: what the funding is for, how long the business has operated and its rough revenue.
- You hear which options match the need and what a partner will likely want to review. We submit nothing without your approval.
- 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.
