First Bancshares is the largest private family-owned financial holding company in Indiana. First Bancshares is anchored by more than 125 years and 5 generations of family ownership in Centier Bank, a full-service financial institution with in excess of $9 billion in assets and 1,100 associates. Centier is testament that no matter how large a business has grown; it is still possible to provide differentiated, personalized service.
Family-owned and operated, First Bancshares believes in sustainable growth with a profound focus on enterprise culture. Alongside its core organic growth, First Bancshares seeks acquisition and investment opportunities through its wholly owned subsidiary, 119th Street Capital, in proven financial service firms with dedicated management teams who desire a strategic and well capitalized partner.
With a deep commitment to the success of its partners, First Bancshares focuses exclusively on opportunities that allow for deploying strategic resources alongside patient capital, delivering value through expertise in operations, capital structure, and both corporate & family governance. As every business and shareholder is unique, First Bancshares focuses on solution seeking, coming to the table with flexible balance sheet capital, and an open mind for how to maximize long-term value for all stakeholders. Equity solutions and access to affiliate senior debt allow for a unique and enduring capital partnership, serving all debt and equity needs for partners as they continue to scale.
Sectors of interest include insurance, depository institutions, credit intermediation, wealth management, financial technology, professional services, asset management, and payments.
