First Business Financial Services Inc
First Business Financial Services is the bank holding company for First Business Bank, a commercial bank built around lending and cash-management services for small and mid-sized businesses, business owners, and professionals. It also serves some affluent individuals through private wealth and deposit products. Its main business is making loans, taking deposits, and helping customers manage their day-to-day banking needs. The company earns most of its money from interest on loans and securities, plus fees from services such as treasury management, deposit accounts, wealth management, and specialty financing. A meaningful part of its lending is tied to commercial real estate, owner-occupied business properties, equipment finance, and other business credit needs, which makes it different from banks that focus mainly on consumer checking and mortgages. Its role in the financial system is that of a relationship-focused business bank. It works closely with local companies that need a lender, a deposit partner, and help managing working capital, and it uses those long-term relationships to gather deposits and cross-sell fee-based services. That mix of lending, deposits, and service fees is the core of its business model.

Strong start: Management said First Business Bank had a strong first quarter, with loans and deposits growing faster than expected and fee income up nearly 16% year over year.
Growth outlook: The bank expects second-quarter loan growth to be lighter because of late-quarter pull-through and known payoffs, but still reiterated its 10% annual loan and core deposit growth target.
Margin reset: Net interest margin rose to 3.56%, but management said the quarter was affected by timing noise and fewer accrual days; they still expect the margin to move back into the 3.60% to 3.65% target range.
Credit progress: The company made progress on its largest nonperforming asset, selling $3.4 million of land development loans at par, while saying the rest of the resolution process will likely take until the second half of 2026.
Fee strength: Private wealth posted record revenue of $3.9 million, and management said total fee income is on track for about 10% growth this year despite some quarter-to-quarter lumpiness.
Leadership change: This was Corey Chambas’s last call before retirement, with management emphasizing the company’s culture, long-term strategy and continuity under Dave Seiler.
