Testimonials

The loan from CDC enabled us to continue our growth in South Carolina. That funding enabled us to buy and renovate the property, which in turn led to the hiring of 140 new employees in Columbia. We are very grateful to everyone at CDC for their hard work and effort. We were referred to them by a bank in Columbia and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. Their team took the ball over the goal line for us. They really got the job done.

The idea of moving our 34-year-old retail jewelry store to a new location was daunting. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to CDC and I knew this was the way we should go. They honestly made the process quite easy from start to finish. They've been more than helpful. It's hard to describe the satisfaction our family felt moving into and working in our beautiful new environment. It's been a great journey.

Hobbitt Hill, Too is a premier early childhood educational setting that serves infants through kindergartners and offers extended services for area elementary school students. The child care center accommodates 120 children each day and maintains a waiting list for enrollment. Thanks to the assistance of the CDC, the youngest citizens of Beaufort have a special place to spend their days while their parents are at work.

With the assistance of BDC, I was able to purchase our 25-year-old family business. The staff there was very helpful and "my hat is off" to everyone there.

Five years ago when I started searching for finance options to open my first restaurant, the majority of banks said it was too risky. Luckily I found a bank that loved the idea and even suggested partnering with the CDC to ensure the requested finance needs. Three years later, a great location became available in a different market and again the CDC assisted in making it work.

In these trying times, with the help of the CDC, I’ve been able to open two successful locations. Without a doubt, the CDC worked for me.
