Small Business and Economic Development
The South Financial Group, through its affiliated companies, provides access to capital while helping many small, minority and women-owned
businesses throughout the markets we serve.
We believe that small businesses and healthy neighborhoods are the cornerstone of economic
stability within local communities. Economic development is also a critical component to the vitality of low-income and distressed
neighborhoods. We’ve developed a network of strategic partners to include Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI),
Community Development Corporations (CDC), Business Development Centers (BDC), Council of Governments (COGS) and the Small Business Administration (SBA).
