"First Business Keeps Our Investments Healthy and Growing"

"Three years ago, we were looking for a financial institution to help us manage our investments and day-to-day banking. We found the ideal partner in First Business Bank. They listened to us and understood the services we provide our members. Working with us, their trust and investment group has created several customized portfolios that have performed above the established market benchmarks. Plus, since the bank is locally owned, we have easy access to their team of talented business specialists. Thanks to First Business, our resources and assets continue to grow."

BREAK AWAY SPORTS CENTER

"We needed a business bank that was open minded. A bank that would take the time to look closely at our ideas."

"When we put together our plans to build an indoor soccer facility of this size, it was untested and the first of its kind in the area. As a result, some other banks wouldn’t even talk to us. But First Business Bank took the time to get to know us and really looked closely at our concept and our ideas for the business. Because of the effort First Business bank put in up front…we got our soccer facility built and have been very successful since we opened."

— Matt Lombardino, President, Break Away Sports Center, Inc.


THE BRUCE COMPANY

"Working with an experienced business bank simplifies the financial side of running a business."

"The people at First Business Bank know business. They understand what we deal with short term and long term. And they’re locally operated so I get great service. No out-of-town committees or long waits for approvals. They’re set up to react quickly. They take a proactive approach, and stay ahead of our needs…and that makes running a business easier."

WIEDENBECK INC.

"Our future is stronger thanks to First Business"

"In 1990, our father was one of First Business Bank's first clients and we've continued that tradition. For 15 years, our family's company has relied on First Business for their creative solutions to our financing needs. We recently expanded into metal fabrication, and First Business was with us during the entire process. Their knowledgeable staff worked with us to understand our goals and help develop our business plan. We also like the business services that they offer, such as the courier service which we have used since we began banking with them. Creative solutions and valuable business services keep us with First Business Bank."
