The flexibility to access capital when needed is very important so that they can act opportunistically on growth opportunities. As they grow, they're able to know that their bank can grow with them.

John Dougherty:

The initial steps that I generally recommend for a client to scale their business is understanding kind of the fundamentals of their business. How are they paying their vendors? How are they receiving payments from their customers? And if they understand that and the cash flow cycle of their business, they generally then have a better sense of how they can use that to strategically prioritize working capital going forward and scaling the business from a cash flow perspective.

Francesca Farnesi:

I would say critical factors in the growth of our clients include having a clear vision, financial forecasting, and an open dialogue with myself along with the rest of my team, which includes our Treasury Officer and our Credit Officer, so that we can find the support throughout our bank and provide our clients [with] the best tailored solutions.
