SMALL BUSINESS WEEK APRIL 29-MAY 5
Plumas Bank is encouraging citizens to shop locally and help support their local economies during National Small Business Week (April 29 – May 5) and throughout the entire year.
“Small Business Week celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and the visionaries whose ingenuity and tenacity drive innovation and serve as the backbone of our nation’s economy,” said President and CEO Andrew Ryback. “As a community bank, we serve as a financial incubator for start-ups and a trusted financial advisor for more established small businesses. We are proud to support this critical source of job creation for the communities we serve.”
“Even though nationwide community banks comprise just 20 percent of banking industry assets, they make more than 60 percent of all small business loans under $1 million in assets,” added Ryback. “We know our small business clients and work to ensure their sustainability — today, tomorrow and for generations to come. We are relationship lenders, which means we give each small business client our personalized attention and tailor our products and services to reflect their unique needs.”
