Your bank is more than a place where you keep a checking account. They provide many important services that will be required for your business operations. Choose carefully. Is the bank in a convenient location? Does the banker understand your business? Is the bank small enough so that you can deal with senior people? Does the bank provide the services you will need now and in the near future?  What are the bank's fees for various transactions? Are they competitive? What are fees and interest associated with their credit cards? Are they competitive?
