Rebuilding Main Street, One Bank at a Time
Since 2008, thousands of Main Street banks have closed or merged. Community bankers often name the regulation that followed the financial crisis, written in answer to the conduct of a handful of the largest banks, as a cost they did not create and must still carry.
BackOffice is built to make it easier to start or operate a Main Street bank that works for the small businesses and the community it serves. A bank like that protects working Americans and opens doors for people who have been left behind.
“Community banks provide the majority of bank farm credit, representing 81 percent of farm real estate debt held by commercial banks.” “In one-quarter of counties across the United States, community banks represent the only commercial bank presence.” “Almost one-third of rural households reported that they lacked home internet access.”

Business Continuity for the Next Generation
A generation of small-business owners is getting ready to retire. When a business changes hands, the next owner inherits the books, the contracts, the licenses and the files that show how the work gets done. Too often, that knowledge lives in one person’s head.
BackOffice runs on hardware the business owns and keeps a record of each step it takes. The record stays with the business, not with any one person. If you are planning for continuity, tell us what you need to carry forward.
