Tim Hunter is a Business Development Officer for Fidelity Bank, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tim and I bonded over our mutual appreciation for small and blue-collar businesses. We covered:

Why would you use a bank as a small business owner?

• How to interview lenders as a business owner
• Benefits of a community bank for a small business
• Do you need to offer a personal guarantee?
• The importance of doing business in a niche you understand
• Bank "quotas" on lending to specific types of industries
• Process and structure of a community bank
• Family time as a way to decompress
• The importance of having an inner circle of advisors
