Business Funding in Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield is the center of Kern County, which produces more oil than any other county in California and ranks among the top farm counties in the country. Grapes, citrus, almonds, pistachios and carrots grow across the southern San Joaquin Valley, and Grimmway Farms and Bolthouse Farms make Bakersfield the carrot capital of the world. Oil fields stretch north and west of the city, and the service companies, welders, trucking firms and equipment yards that support them line Rosedale Highway and the east side. The city is also a logistics hub. Distribution centers have filled in along Highway 99 and at the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center on I-5, where retailers and manufacturers reach both Los Angeles and Northern California in a day. Adventist Health, Dignity Health's Memorial and Mercy hospitals and Kern Medical anchor healthcare, and Cal State Bakersfield and Bakersfield College train the region's workers. The small businesses in between include farm labor contractors, packers and haulers, oil field service and fabrication shops, trucking companies, contractors, auto and equipment repair shops, restaurants, and medical practices. Many are Hispanic-owned or family-run, and many have been in business for decades. Cash flow here follows the harvest and the price of oil. Growers and packers pay on 30 to 60 day terms after harvest; farm labor contractors make weekly payroll in the meantime. Oil field service companies wait 60 days or more on operators and feel every drop in drilling activity and every slowdown in state permits. And summer heat reshapes the workday for everyone outdoors.
