## At a Glance

The fullest SBA desk this round put on one page: ten people with phones and the purchase in the first bullet; what it does not publish is any number.

## What It Costs

Loan products; terms by term sheet. No size, rate or fee is published; the page says competitive rates, low down payments and extended terms, and that loan maturities follow the ability to repay, the purpose of the loan and the assets financed (per ecountybank.com, September 2026).

## Best For

A buyer of a business in Upstate South Carolina who wants a small business bank whose whole SBA division is on one page with a direct line each
