Choosing a financial partner depends on company
iwyqaxewun.wordpress.com
We asked several financial executivees to talk about their competitors on thisbasicc premise: Are there times when another kind of financiall institution would work best for someone’zs business needs? Their combinedx answers are below. And if you’re in the market for a new financial partner, this may help with your decision. Q: Imagine you’vr got a business owner in frontof you. When would you recommend they go to a large regional or nationalbank A: Companies with highly sophisticated needs such as investment bankingg and capital markets probably are not a good matcu for a smaller, locally owned bank, as those services are typically not offered.
Finding the right provider for any clienr should involve exploring options with an honest assessment of their needzs and an evaluation ofvarious pricing, service, technology and othed factors to establish a mutualluy beneficial partnership. It is vitallty important for the banker to understandthe customer’s in terms of how things are done and what the strateg is. A small business with a single location may be able to get its banking needs met through anearby institution.
But, if the businessx is operated out of more thanone location, or has a travelingh sales staff, or gets deliveries in far-flung a bank with branches probably would be more This would also accommodate those employees, particularly in manufacturing businesses, who may not have accesw to online options and will need a plac e to cash checks. It also is not necessarilu a bad thing when a bank merges or is acquiredc by alarger company. it’s a seamless process, and the merger may add even more servicex that will fityour needs. Q: Imaginew you’ve got a business owner in frontof you. In what instances would you recommend they go to acommunity bank?

Small to medium-sizw business owners may find theultimate decision-maker sittingh across the desk, sometimes makinb it easier to negotiate credit A larger bank’s business model focuses on comprehensive financialo solutions packages for businesses that go well beyond often including equipment finance, treasury management, paymeny solutions, trust and deposit services.
For it is a trade-off betweehn ease of doing business for limited services versue more sophisticated solutions of any It depends on what you need and sometimea on what you are willing topay for. Q: Imagins you’ve got a businesxs owner in frontof you. In what instances woulsd you recommend they go to acreditt union? When shopping for a credit realize many offer the same serviced as a bank but require memberse to meet some type of criteria, such as beingb employed by a certain company or living within certain Many credit unions have changed their charters to allowa small-business owners and their employees to join.

Business pondering Colorado ballot - San Antonio Business Journal:
domnaofyvisyhojo.blogspot.com
The presidential race has dominatexd thenational conversation, and the contesgt for Colorado’s open Senate seat has garnerefd much attention. Yet when the Denveer Business Journalasked Denver-area executives, professionals, and heads of nonprofitsw and other associations what election issues and raced are of greatest importance to their operations, most mentioned one or more of the 14 statd ballot questions.
Except as business leaders contacted by the Journal emphasized they were speaking for themselvez and not for their companies or Among the ballot issueson business’ radar is Amendment 58, whicuh would raise more than $300 million a year in additional “severancr tax” revenue from oil and gas drillers in the state, usinf much of the money for collegre scholarships. “The biggest trick on the people of with notreat possible, is 58,” said Michaep Beatty, a principal at P.C., a longtim e oil and gas attorney in Denver. “Voters may thinok it will supporthigher ed, but it doesn’t,” Beattyy said.
“And it won’t generate a penny to solve anyof Colorado’s critical financial needs. It is an ugly stepsistee dressed up as Cinderella that willturn Colorado’e economy into a pumpkin in the curren economic downturn.” Amendment 58 has been heavily pusheds by Gov. Bill Ritter, who argues that it wouldc endan “expensive subsidy” for the energy industrgy at a time of record profits. Longtimse oilman Bruce Benson, president of the system, and other states college leaders backthe measure. “I’m watchintg [the] outcome of 58. It could set or sink Bill Ritteer politically,” said Pete Webb, principal at Centennial-based Webb PR.
Also mentionee frequently in the Journal survey wasAmendmeng 59, a measure aimed at untangling conflicting financial provisionz of the state constitution, including the Taxpayedr Bill of Rights (TABOR). It would allow exceszs tax revenue collected during good economic times to be places in an education fund rather than refunded to taxpayers asTABOR mandates. Proponents say it would restorde flexibility to the statdbudgeting process.
“Amendment 59 is by far the most important ballo t initiative this year and perhaps the most important ballot initiative of the Withoutit passing, Colorado will be paralyzed financially,” said Petefr Dea, president and CEO of Denver oil and gas firm . Mile High ’sd board has endorsed 59, said the nonprofit’ president and CEO, Christine Benero. The boarxd “had quite a debate on it,” Beneroo said. “They looked very carefully at what it wouldd mean and why would we [endorse] it.” But, she “At the end of the day, all of the work United Way does startse with a fundamental belief that educatexd kids are the future for Colorado.
… So we’ree very proud to stand behind Amendment Foes of Amendment 59 arguw that it wouldreducer taxpayers’ ability to controp excessive government spending during prosperous timesw and would permanently eliminate TABOR-driven tax Business leaders also are following Amendment 47, whichy would prohibit mandatory union-duee payments in Colorado workplaces. It’s been the focuas for months of a battle overlaboer rights, leading to a compromises in which the and some employers are joiningf with unions in opposing the measure.
“Our objective has been to support policies that will help growour economy, stabiliz prices, develop new technologies, and grow said Steve Davis, senior vice president for publiv policy for Without specifying 47, Davis said the telecom “has opposed ballot initiatives in Colorado and elsewhere that woul d disrupt long-standing labor policiexs and might destabilize economic growthn and well-being.” Mark Simmons, co-ownetr and marketing/sales director of Louisville-based , an installer of solar electric systems, said he favors “defeating all the … labor-business initiatives.

During the just-concluded 2009 legislative the Senate passed a bill that would let MARTsA use all of its sales tax revenuesfor operations. Current law requires MARTA to put half of that mone towardcapital costs. But the legislation died on the last day of the sessionh after it got caught up in a dispute betweeb the House and Senate over broadet transportationfunding issues. During a rally outside MARTA’s Five Pointsz station, Sen.
Kasim Reed, D-Atlanta, said shutting down transi service would send the wrong message to convention organizersconsidering “When Atlanta is competing against Las Orlando, Charlotte and other cities that invest in transit what’s Atlanta going to say: ‘We’re off one day a ” he asked. Perdue said members of his staff met with MARTA officials on Tuesday to look for ways to avoid disrupting But he said he was not inclined to ordefr lawmakers back tothe Capitol. “This isn’yt the first time someone’s bill hasn’t passed, and they’ve come runnint to the governor’s office to call a special session,” the governoer said.
Absent a special session, speakers at Wednesday’s rallh suggested Perdue issue an emergency executive ordef to keep the buses and trains Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said state law givess the governor some latitude indeclaring emergencies. But he said issuinbg an executive order because the legislaturre failed to pass a bill would be an overl broad reading ofthe state-of-emergency
