Although you may need money, you should be in the driver's seat when it comes to choosing the bankers or partners you want to deal with. Make sure the bank is sincerely interested in your business and will provide you with the services you need. You should also look for a banker with whom you feel you can develop a good ongoing relationship and that has experience with similar businesses. Keep in mind the value of your business to the community and what its future deposits could mean for the bank.
