Best type of banks to borrow from?

[Jamie McKenna]

I'm new to REI and am wondering what's the best option for obtaining financing. I have a couple partners and we were thinking of talking with local banks in hopes of building a working relationship over the years with a lender we might see at the grocery store. But are there certain banks that might be more able to help us grow...larger banks that would see us as a smaller risk, an online lender that just needs to see that we make payments on time, etc. Any thoughts would be great!
