Why small business owners need a good business banker.

“When it comes to financing and banking, small business owners and entrepreneurs often don’t really know what they need. They are experts at what they do, not banking. So a good business banker needs to be the subject matter expert on financing and banking for their customers.

At Central Pacific Bank, we work hard to provide guidance and insight into the many different options that may be available to business owners. In addition to traditional banking products and services, we can provide industry information, compare their financial performance to peers, or provide important factors affecting the industry.

Having a support team of experts is extremely important to any business success. A business banker is a vital part of that team as well as a CPA, realtor, attorney, and such. Without these experts, businesses won’t know what types of opportunities they’re potentially missing out on.

We love working with the SBA and other small business resource partners to help businesses, especially new business start-ups. Our commitment to small business goes back to how CPB was founded, to help support small businesses and those who others wouldn’t help. What we do, and why we do it, is rooted in our culture. I think that really shows through with our business bankers.
