Equipment financing
Columbia sits at the edge of South Carolina's ag belt. Row-crop farms stretch east toward Sumter, timber operations dot Lexington and Calhoun counties, and equestrian properties cluster around Blythewood and Camden. The challenge: traditional banks treat a $200,000 combine differently than a delivery van. Seasonal cash flow, land-heavy balance sheets, and equipment that depreciates fast make underwriting complicated. Many Columbia lenders cherry-pick only the safest deals or defer to distant ag specialists who don't understand Midlands soil types or the I-20 corridor's logistics advantages.
Loan programs
For land acquisition, agriculture land purchase loans require a business-use case. If you're buying 40 acres in Gaston to expand poultry houses, that's commercial. If it's a homestead with a hobby garden, it's residential, outside our scope.
cover equipment and working capital up to $5 million with longer amortization than conventional notes. Equipment financing structures payments around harvest cycles, critical when your revenue lands twice a year.

A third-generation soybean and corn grower in Pelion needed a $180,000 sprayer and $50,000 operating cash. His local bank offered equipment-only financing at a short term. We brokered an SBA 7(a) package that bundled both, stretched payments to ten years, and freed up spring cash flow. Closing took six weeks; the sprayer arrived before pre-emergent season.
