Did you know that nearly half of all Americans either own or work for a small business? It’s no surprise—small businesses aren’t just the backbone of our economy; they’re the heart of our communities. From the bustling coffee shop on Main Street to the entrepreneur crafting handmade goods in their home studio, small businesses fuel innovation, create jobs, and bring neighborhoods together. 

At First Bankers Trust, we celebrate businesses at every stage—whether you’re launching a side hustle or running a well-established operation. If you’re looking to grow, we’re here with the tools, resources, and support you need to thrive. 

The Journey: Turning Passion Into Profit 

Most small businesses start as a spark of passion—something you love doing. But turning that passion into profit often requires a leap of faith. Maybe you’ve been juggling a full-time job while fulfilling orders on weekends or balancing spreadsheets at midnight. 

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Thousands of entrepreneurs face the same challenges: managing finances, finding capital, and planning for the future. That’s why we’re committed to guiding you through every milestone.
