Business Loans

We support local businesses. (Because we’re one too.)

There’s a reason so many local businesspeople say, “That’s my bank.”

Local loans for local businesses. When you talk to us about your business, you’re talking to the people who help make it happen. We don’t have to check with people in a far-off place.

We don’t dilly-dally. In our experience, good businesspeople don’t waste a lot of time. We’re the same way. We perform due diligence, of course, but we want you to get what you need as quickly as possible.

Many businesses have been with us for decades. We’ve stuck by them and they returned the favor.
