The Greenville Business Environment
Named one of the top 10 fastest growing cities in the U.S. by CNN Money, Greenville is South Carolina’s third largest urban area, and is growing faster than any other area in the state. Similar to Spartanburg, Greenville’s business economy long depended on the textile industry; however, over the past several decades the economy has shifted, and opportunities in the professional and business services sectors have witnessed significant growth. Conveniently located midway between Atlanta and Charlotte, the Greenville-Spartanburg area of the Upstate has ample opportunities for continued growth and development.
Viking understands the nuances of the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson business environment and has experience providing valuations and facilitating sales of businesses in the metro area. We’ve closed sales on more than 800 businesses throughout the Southeast, including many in the Greenville metro area:
- Norcomm (HOA Association)
- Carolina Urgent Care (Medical Center)
- Energy Hardware (Hardware Store)
- Fastsigns (Sign Company)
- Stone Plaza Pharmacy (Pharmacy)
