Promoting small businesses is important for rural revitalization. 

• The majority of all jobs in rural America are created by small businesses.
• The profits small businesses generate stay in their communities. 
• Small business entrepreneurs often are the backbone of community leadership.

Unfortunately, traditional lenders in the Delta and other rural areas rarely make loans to small businesses.  But at Southern Financial Partners, small business lending is one of our specialties.  Southern Financial Partners has made over $30 million in loans to small businesses in the Delta.  And Southern backs these loans up by providing technical assistance to entrepreneurs, helping their businesses to grow and thrive.  In so doing, we are helping create the jobs, the profits, and the leadership that will contribute to a bright future for the Delta.
