Are You the Bank for Me?
We have many relationships in our lives. A relationship with relatives. A relationship with friends. A relationship with our colleagues. Even a relationship with our bank. So, how do you find the perfect bank for your business?
Is the Bank Healthy?
Just like we need to make sure to keep ourselves healthy, our bank needs to exemplify good health, as well—especially in today’s financial world. Therefore, do your research, and see if they have adequate liquidity, as well as have posted a profit for more quarters within the year than not.
Is the Bank Experienced in Business Finances?
You have enough worries going on when it comes to your business and your finances that you shouldn’t have to wonder about your bank. You want to feel confident knowing that your business is in the best hands possible. Ask questions, such as: “Do you have a business division focused on lending to small or large companies?” and “Does the bank specialize in your industry or businesses like yours?”
Can the Bank Get You to Where You Need to Be?
When finding a bank, you want to make sure they will be able to give you what you need. Will they be able to loan you what you need? What is the average loan they make to most companies? Will this number be able to grow as your business grows? Also, will you be speaking with the right person to help your business finances reach their ultimate goals? Can they meet with you an adequate amount of time? Will they be hard to reach? You want to make sure they have as much time for you as you have for them.
