Our team of local bankers recognizes that many middle market businesses began as, or still are, family-run organizations. With more than 200 years of banking experience, we’re well-versed in addressing the unique needs of these companies. Nearly 75 percent of our clients are privately-owned businesses—a majority of which are owned and managed by families or entrepreneurs. It’s our pleasure to be an integral part of their lives.

Success in family business comes with many diverse challenges and opportunities. We understand that these businesses often make decisions with a long-term view, rather than with quarterly or yearly results in mind. The most successful business transitions have to be carefully planned, with all options evaluated, to ensure a seamless transition if and when unexpected life events occur. Regardless of where your family business is in its lifecycle, it’s a good idea to discuss your long-term strategy with your banker. This may include: international expansion, transferring ownership within the family, selling all or a portion of your company, or acquiring another business.

We know the needs and goals of every family-run business are unique, and we’re dedicated to providing actionable solutions to family businesses through access to our firm’s global banking resources and partners. Our comprehensive range of products and services—from credit to international banking—has helped many middle market businesses achieve their business goals.

We’re committed to the success of the Sacramento region’s business community. If you’d like to know whether we can help your business prosper domestically or abroad, please contact (916) 491-3321.
