Article: Wall Street Journal - Banking Whales Leave Minnows Behind
Even in a challenged economy, if you ask a small business owner who has great credit, earns a respectable $1-2mm in revenue each year, is profitable, liquid and has managed to keep their debt in line, if they believed they would be turned down by their bank for a loan, they would probably laugh at you. They would argue that they are shining examples of entrepreneurship at its finest and after all, what bank WOULD NOT want them for a customer or want to “close” the deal as quickly as possible?
Florida Commerce understands that sometimes, building a business feels more like trying to build a fire. It has to be fed and maintained and it's easy to get burned. That is why we are delighted to launch our brand new Business microsite, aptly entitled, FiredUpCommerce.com. Our goal is to not only bring relevant and interesting news for the business owner, but to encourage sharing of new ideas of a collaborative nature among site members.
We are a local strong, member-owned financial cooperative with a focus to continually strive to bring the best in products and state-of-the-art services to our members. Simply put, our commitment in creating FiredUpCommerce.com is to not only tell you who WE are, but to be a “business ideas network” where concepts, suggestions and the sharing of proven practices may change the way we think about our businesses, our community and even our world.
Remember, everyone looks at things just a little differently and it is those varied opinions that can make the distinction between success and failure for some. Feedback is a gift that can lead efforts toward solutions. Looking forward to hearing from you!
-Carla DeBaldo, VP of Sales, Florida Commerce Credit Union
