Business First Bank has moved into its new offices on Jefferson Highway. The bank now takes up a 23,000-square-foot space in the old Regions Bank branch near Essen Lane. Business First, which was founded February 2006 by former Gov. Buddy Roemer, now has $600 million in assets. The bank has branches in Shreveport, Mandeville, Lafayette and Lake Charles, and officials are looking at opening a Houma branch. “We’re testing the waters to see if there’s any interest there,” says Dennis Shill, chief lending officer.
