Small Business is our Business
08/03/2020
While we provide many financial products and services here at Sterling State Bank, our small business banking is the heart of what we do. As a trusted business partner, we bring the expertise and full service product line to grow your business. Sterling State Bank is a local, family owned business fully invested in the communities we serve, and our promise to our small business customers is to be there for them during the good times and the difficult times. We understand the important role that good credit decisions make in growing business and creating opportunities. Their success and impact into our local economies is important to us.
When you trust your business financials to a community bank, you are more than an account number. You are our neighbor. We know you, and your business by name. When you need us, we are just a phone call or email away. Community banks don’t have millions of customers like the big banks which means our customers get personalized attention and service. Our job is to look out for you because when you are successful and growing, we can grow with you.
Small businesses are the heart of communities. Just how much of a presence and impact do small businesses have on our communities? The Small Business Administration (SBA) reports 28 million small businesses operating in the US alone. And since 1995, those small businesses have generated 66% of all new jobs in the United States. Small Businesses are a big deal. (Five Stars Blog)
Now, more than ever, we need to support our local small businesses. Beginning August 2020, Sterling State Bank will launch its Small Business is Our Business social campaign. Our goal is simple: to bring attention and business to our local partners in a time when they need it most. Twice a month we will showcase local business partners putting them back in the spotlight. We encourage you to learn more about the businesses in our communities and keep your dollars local. We will also give you the opportunity to win gift cards to these businesses so that you can experience the care and customer service that small businesses offer.
By working together, we can strengthen our small business economy and keep them operating strong for years to come. We’ll continue to be there for our customers as they have been there for us.
