PROVIDENT BUSINESS SERVICES
We don’t have to tell you that running a business is hard (of the blood, sweat, and tears variety). And we don’t have to tell you that it requires you to eat, sleep, and breathe nothing but the business. Because, by your very nature, an entrepreneur like you is dogged, free-thinking, industrious, full of moxie. But just because you’re self-sufficient doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. So when your business is young and you’re running a manufacturing assembly line out of your parents’ garage or trying to expand into new markets, we’ll be there. It may be business—but it’s still all about connection and commitment.

Starting
So you have a day job and everything is…fine. But there’s that feeling—a tug at your skin, a stir in your stomach, a little voice that whispers. You know you were made for something else, something more. You’ve even drafted a business plan. But now what? Where do you start? How do you put your vision out into the world? Well, that’s exactly what we’re here for. Start with these products:
SBA Loan
The start-up phase requires major working capital—every penny you can get—and you can apply for a small business or SBA (small business administration) loan to fund those initial costs. Most SBA loans feature flexible rates, no prepayment penalties, and no balloon payments.

Small Business Checking
The core fundamentals of any successful business are managing company finances, streamlining spending, and improving cash flow. This account can help you do just that when you add ProvidentConnect for Business Online Banking and a Provident Business Debit MasterCard®, which gives you cash back when you use it!

Business Platinum Classic MasterCard
Remember the working capital we just mentioned? A business credit card will give you the wiggle room you need. If you consistently make your payments on time, you can establish good credit history, which is imperative for future borrowing and investing.

Merchant Services
The easier it is for customers to make a payment—the more they will. Offer numerous payment options—credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, etc.—even on the go. If you take your product to a festival, stadium, trade show, or expo, you can accept credit, debit, or cash payments right from your smart phone or tablet with POGO!

Growing
The word has gotten out. You have a small, but burgeoning, customer base. Suddenly, there’s a line out the door and you have more demand than you can supply. You hire a couple of employees to help you keep up. The money is steadily pouring in and there’s no doubt that business is booming. But you’re not firmly established yet and therefore vulnerable. Make sure you identify business needs early and specifically and employ sound money management tips to keep the cash flow, well, flowing.
Business Savings Account
During the start-up phase, most, if not all, of the revenue goes right back into the business. But now, you have some excess cash that should be saved for unexpected expenses. Create a nice little cushion for the pitfalls by earning interest in a statement or passbook savings account.

Payroll Services
It may seem like an unnecessary luxury at this stage in the game, but automating payroll actually saves you money—and a headache! Our payroll services offer simple, transparent, and accurate tracking, leaving you more time for other things.

Commercial Loan
Renting a shop means you're paying to just inhabit the space. Owning the building, however, can increase the value of your company and solidify your reputation. Apply for an owner-occupied commercial mortgage to buy the building - and in the future, someone may be renting from you!

Expanding
You’ve made it through the growth stage and reached the crest. The business is coasting now and life is good. But you cannot rest because in order to survive, your business needs to continue to expand, to innovate, to push—it is the nature of business. Organizations in the expansion stage must cut costs, increase productivity, and leverage existing assets to fuel growth. Because it is the next logical step to increase your footprint, you’re opening more shops across the region. But expanding too quickly can be problematic; that's why we'll help you expand smartly but conservatively, ensuring you don’t overextend your reach. Start with:
Business Money Market
Maximize earnings, pump up your purchasing power, cut costs, and simplify cash management with this premier, interest-bearing account.

Certificate of Deposit (CD)

Treasury Management Services
Excellent treasury management services are imperative because excellent treasury management is imperative. These services address challenges that are most cumbersome: working capital, efficiency, and fraud. You can’t afford not to have them!
LEARN MORE
Line of Credit (LOC)
A line of credit is beneficial in this stage because it will allow you to add staff and services, increase your marketing efforts, buy new equipment, and open more locations. This is an ideal way to boost revenue without putting a chokehold on cash flow.

Thriving
This is it. You’ve reached the big time. You are a comfortable, stable, and thriving business. Still, your growth cannot stagnate. You must continue expanding your service offerings, developing new revenue streams, and maximizing company value. This is the perfect time to add more locations overseas and develop an additional profit center that will make you money even when your shops are closed. It’s also the perfect time to start organizing the business for your eventual exit, no matter how far into the future. Whether you transfer ownership to the next generation or sell the business outright, you must be prepared.
Commercial Checking
Your thriving business generate millions of dollars a year, that’s enough to make anyone’s head spin, but a Commercial Checking account can help keep it all straight. It will also facilitate in cutting costs and identifying hidden profit centers.

Construction Loans
Use a construction loan to build more locations from the ground up, expand small, existing buildings, and outfit your facilities with the equipment that makes you money.
