Business Funding for Clinton, Indiana: Options and Local Facts

Clinton, IN and ZIP code 47842

Census business counts are published by ZIP code, not by town limits, so the figures on this page describe ZIP code 47842 as a whole. Clinton covers only about 3.1 percent of that ZIP's land; the rest is countryside and smaller places that share the same mail delivery area.

In 2023, ZIP 47842 had 176 employer establishments with 2,810 employees and an annual payroll of about $201.9 million; 53.4 percent of the establishments had fewer than five employees (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023).

What the ZIP 47842 businesses do

Retail trade was the largest sector in ZIP 47842 in 2023, with 38 employer establishments. Other services had 27, health care and social assistance 24, construction 22, accommodation and food services 16 and finance and insurance 10 (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Retail establishments were larger than average here: only 39.5 percent had fewer than five employees, against 81.5 percent in other services.

Stores and shops in ZIP 47842

With retail the leading sector, the funding questions we hear most from a ZIP like this concern stock: buying ahead of sales, carrying slow lines, or restocking quickly after a strong stretch.

Inventory financing uses the goods as security and is repaid as they sell. A revolving line suits smaller, repeated purchases. Either way, a partner will look closely at sales records and at any liens already recorded against the store.

Self-employment in Clinton, IN

An estimated 9.1 percent of employed Clinton residents were self-employed (American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates), but the margin of error is ±7.3 points, so the real figure could be much lower or higher. We mention it only as context.
