Supporting local dreams

When husband and wife duo Michelle and Jeff Rudisill purchased Blarney Stoneworks from Michelle’s family, they wanted every element of their business to reflect their ‘shop local’ mindset, including their bank.

“We wanted a bank that did business the same way as us. We asked our local friends and fellow business owners, and a common thread quickly emerged – to go see our friends at the Southern Pines branch of First Bank. Stacy Donathan quickly became our trusted go to for everything. She has been invaluable in navigating the many needs of our commercial and personal financing needs. They not only helped us secure financing for our business building but now multiple equipment purchases”

Goombays Grille & Raw Bar Joins First Bank We’re proud to welcome Kill Devil Hills landmark restaurant Goombays Grille & Raw Bar to First Bank. Goombays has been an island hot spot since 1992 and recently changed ownership in March 2023. The vibrant chartreuse and aqua building matches the excitement that Goombays new owners, Tony Sipe and Chris Miller, have for their Kill Devil Hills, NC establishment. First Bank SBA Business Development Officer, Chase Zabriskie, was instrumental in securing the funding that Tony and Chris needed to purchase Goombays from its original owners. Commitment and diligence from everyone involved resulted in a custom SBA financing solution that fit Tony and Chris’s unique needs as first-time business owners. “Chase was so invested in our success that we started to think of him as one of our partners. Chris and I have already referred other friends to First Bank and their SBA program, and we will continue to do so. First Bank and Chase will be the first phone call we make when we are ready for our next project.” – Tony Sipe, Goombays Grille & Raw Bar Co-owner “Quite a few hurdles were jumped along the way. I became not only their trusted banker but a friend who was there to encourage them to keep trying even when it seemed like there was no longer a way forward. Using both our SBA 7a and 504 products, we were able to piece together a creative financing structure that fit the needs of both our borrowers and the sellers. We closed in March 2023 and I was right there with them at the closing table.” – Chase Zabriskie, First Bank SBA Business Development Officer The Goombays Grille & Raw Bar menu is a crowd-pleasing assortment of seafood, shareable appetizers, and menu staples like burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There’s something for everyone and all ages are welcome. Even their cocktail menu is inclusive — all Goombays bartenders are trained on how to transform their island inspired cocktails into non-alcoholic mocktails. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Goombays to First Bank! As a result of our ability to secure their business financing, Tony and Chris chose First Bank to also be their primary banking partner. They utilize our SBA 7a and 504 products along with multiple Business Elite Accounts, and Business Credit Cards. We’re proud to offer custom financing solutions to help our neighbors pursue their goals and dreams. For anyone considering an SBA loan, get in touch with our First Bank team of SBA Experts. Navigating SBA programs can be difficult if you’re unfamiliar with the programs. Chase offers the following advice: Identify Your Goals: Take time to share as much information as possible about what goals you are looking to achieve through SBA financing. Consult With An Expert: Your First Bank SBA expert can guide you through the process and make recommendations for how best to go about structuring your financing. Start Early: Getting ahead of the game on any potential SBA hurdles is the key to keeping the process smooth and efficient. Having an early conversation and choosing the right lender can be the difference in how quickly you get to the closing table. To celebrate our First Bank partnership, the Goombays team sent us this Blueberry Mai Tai mocktail recipe. Cheers! 4 min read

First Bank partners with Habitat for Humanity to promote housing affordability There’s no place like home for the holidays. The benefits of homeownership reach far beyond the financial investment and earned equity. Owning a home means long-term security and stability for individuals, families, and economies to thrive. This holiday season, we’re reflecting on our Power of Good commitment to Housing Affordability and our partnership with Habitat for Humanity. “Greater tax generation, creation of jobs, opportunities for economic development, increased job retention and productivity, and the ability to address inequality — all are among the economic benefits of increased access to quality, affordable housing.” – Habitat for Humanity What does housing-affordability mean? While many factors impact what affordable means to each buyer, housing policymakers generally use the 30% rule that states no more than 30% of your income should be spent on housing. In areas where the average home prices and rental rates exceed the 30% rule for the average citizen’s income, housing is deemed unaffordable and residents are considered to be housing cost-burdened. Nationwide, U.S. Census Bureau data shows that 40% of renters meet the definition of cost-burdened. Additionally, an October 2023 report from Redfin suggests that homebuyers must now earn a $115,000 annual salary to afford the median-priced U.S. home – that’s up more than 50% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Housing affordability snapshot on the Carolinas As population growth continues to rise across North and South Carolina, it’s proving difficult to keep up with the increase in demand for housing. Many experts point to the combination of limited supply and growing demand for the sharp rise in housing costs. Cost-burdened households in North Carolina represent 45% of renters and 19% of homeowners while in South Carolina those numbers are 50% and 25% respectively. What are the impacts of cost-burdened households? Households that spend more than 30% of their budget on housing oftentimes experience a snowball effect on other areas of their budget. Many housing cost-burdened households experience food insecurity and are forced to make difficult decisions like choosing between paying a bill or seeking medical care. This also makes it difficult to save for emergencies in the future, and places more reliance on credit card spending. When these difficult circumstances at an individual level become compounded, the entire community’s wellbeing becomes marginalized. First Bank’s commitment to affordable housing As a First Bank client, you’ve made the decision to invest in your community. Our designation as a community bank means that we will always prioritize investing in the communities where we do business. Unlike banks who operate nationally or globally, First Bank is committed to the Carolinas. Banking with First Bank allows you to keep your hard-earned money within your community – where it can do the most good for your neighbors. Our First Bank Power of Good corporate citizenship program has made the following investments in affordable housing: 6 min read
