Benefits of Working with a Business Banker (Video)

Benefits of Working with a Business Banker (Video)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

When you’re running a small business, financial performance is one of your top priorities. No matter the size of your business, a business banker can become a trusted advisor and partner to you. When I work with business owners, I like to describe how I help with 4 A’s: advisor, advocate, access and availability.

  • A business banker is an advisor – someone who can provide expert advice on a variety of financial topics. Someone who can creatively customize solutions to your problems, or link you to a network of other professionals who can.
  • A business banker is your advocate – someone who knows your story, understands your goals and works to help you achieve them.
  • The third A is access. Working with a business banker gives you access to information, relationships, products, services and other counsel that benefits your business.
  • The fourth benefit of working with a business banker is availability. Your banker is your go-to contact, no matter the topic – someone who is your source to answer questions and offer solutions.

As a business owner, look for a banker who can deliver these four As: advisor, advocate, access and availability. Do you own a business and want to learn more? We’re ready to help.
