Who We Serve

From the innovative startups near Iowa State University to the established family businesses on Main Street, we recognize what makes this college town's economy unique. Our team knows how Ames blends academic energy with midwestern values, creating a business environment where innovation meets tradition.
We specialize in serving the businesses that keep Ames thriving. Healthcare practices treating Cyclone athletes and students, construction companies building the next campus expansion, professional service firms supporting local growth, and the solo entrepreneurs launching their dreams from Campustown coffee shops. Each industry faces distinct financial challenges, and we've developed expertise across all of them.
Our commitment extends to every Ames business owner, whether you run a nonprofit serving Story County, operate an e-commerce venture from your home office, or manage a growing medical practice.
