Navigating the Ups and Downs of Business
For small business owners, the journey is filled with ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. Midwest BankCentre understands this intimately. With a deep commitment to supporting local businesses. Pete Zeiser, President of the West Region, emphasizes our mission, saying, "We work with about 10,000 different businesses in the area to be that trusted advisor for their businesses and help them grow." This commitment to guiding businesses through their unique challenges sets Midwest BankCentre apart.
The Power of Our SBA Division
One of the key pillars of Midwest BankCentre's support for small businesses is our Small Business Administration (SBA) division. This division has become a beacon of hope for entrepreneurs seeking financial assistance to fuel their growth.
What sets Midwest BankCentre apart is its status as a preferred lender, a distinction that simplifies and expedites the SBA loans application process for business owners. This means that they not only provide financial support but also ensure that the process is smooth and accessible.
A Case in Point: The Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery
The story of The Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery published by KSDK.com is a testament to the impact of Midwest BankCentre's support. Nearly four decades ago, Kim's mother, Mary, opened The Blue Owl in Kimmswick, offering homemade, grandma's-style cooking to the community. However, it was the famous levee high apple pie that truly made The Blue Owl a town sensation.
When Kim Byerly took over her mom's cherished restaurant, she turned to Midwest BankCentre for guidance. Kim recalls, "My banker was amazing. He helped me understand it all and the process." It's this level of support that makes Midwest BankCentre more than just bankers; they are an integral part of the community.

Midwest BankCentre's dedication to local businesses extends beyond financial services. We are not just bankers; we are a part of the community. Midwest BankCentre takes pride in helping people like Kim Byerly, who, in turn, can continue to support and nurture their communities.
