Key Considerations for Businesses When Applying for Industrial Loans

Chip VanDette, Chief Lending Officer, brings deep experience in the industrial space and a relationship-first mindset to every loan conversation.

“Industrial lending isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about understanding how a facility runs, what equipment is essential, and where a company is headed,” Chip explains. “Our job is to get in the trenches with you and figure out what makes the most sense financially and strategically.”
