The first person you are likely to approach is someone who will prove to be an invaluable and important contact in your business life—your bank manager. At the very least you will need him to approve your application for a special bank account for your business earnings, and you will probably need advice on loans and other financial assistance. Getting to know your bank manager is a vital aspect of your business—requests for financial support are more likely to be met with enthusiasm if the manager knows about you and your business than if you are an unknown entity.
Many people think bank managers only become involved with customers if they owe money. In fact, most of the people a bank manager sees in an average day are businessmen and women who need advice, information and assistance. The bank manager is not an ogre but a highly experienced individual with a wide knowledge of finance and business. Bank managers also have a network of other consultants and professionals whose knowledge they can draw on for advice and assistance should your requests be unusual. Banks also employ their own specialists who concentrate on particular types of customer. For example, all banks have specialist managers who understand the needs of the self- employed and small businesses. So if your branch manager does not have sufficient specialist experience in your field there is likely to be someone within the bank’s region who can help. However, always begin by contacting the branch manager of the bank you want to use.
