Greenville Market
Greenville is the Upstate's economic engine. BMW's Spartanburg plant — the largest BMW manufacturing facility in the world — is just 30 minutes east. Michelin North America has its headquarters here. Prisma Health is the state's largest healthcare system. The downtown Main Street revitalization is a national model for urban renewal.
Manufacturing, healthcare, and a growing technology sector drive the economy. Greenville has the lowest unemployment rate in South Carolina. International companies — from BMW to Michelin to GE Power — have made the Upstate a global manufacturing hub.
For Greenville business owners, the economy is strong but competitive. Manufacturing suppliers competing for BMW and Michelin contracts need capital fast. Healthcare practices are being acquired at a rapid pace. Restaurant demand downtown is fierce. The businesses that win are the ones with financing already structured.

“Greenville's Main Street is one of the best dining corridors in the Southeast and we wanted in. We needed $800K for a full buildout and our bank couldn't get the SBA paperwork done. Basecamp matched us with an SBA lender who funded it in 32 days. We opened on schedule.”
