Is this a run on sentence (a fused sentence)?

Fulfilling your financial needs is our foremost priority and we appreciate your business endeavours with us.

From my understanding there should be a comma before the coordinating conjunction; however, I have been told otherwise. Can someone please explain my folly to me.

No, it's not a run-on. It would be, if eg you just deleted 'and'. You don't need a comma before 'and'.

  • No, it's not a run-on.

  • But you could add one if you want to make it seem slightly more like two separate thoughts.
