JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- CapitalSouth Bank will officially dedicate its new San Marco branch today by honoring the small businesses of San Marco. Company executives, bank employees, and owners of businesses in the San Marco community will attend the grand opening event.

CapitalSouth Bank currently operates a total of four locations in Jacksonville and is greatly increasing the convenience available to its clients in the market.

Fred Coble, Jacksonville City President, CapitalSouth, said that he is pleased with the success that CapitalSouth Bank has enjoyed since entering the Jacksonville market and confident about their future in the area. "San Marco is a thriving shopping, dining and entertainment district," said Coble. "We have an ability to help the local businesses continue to grow. Most big banks have a box; your customer needs must fit inside that box. At CapitalSouth, we pride ourselves in providing creative solutions to the unique challenges that businesses face today."

CapitalSouth customer and founder of Mojo Bar-B-Que, Todd Lineberry, experienced the difference first-hand. "I walked through the doors of CapitalSouth feeling weary from meeting with banks that approach all businesses as if they are identical. CapitalSouth connected with my vision for the future of Mojo Bar-B-Que and created a tailored solution that perfectly suited our needs."

CapitalSouth Bank serves small to medium-sized businesses by offering Small Business Administration (SBA) lending services and other loan programs for business owners through its Business Capital Group, which operates through full-service offices and a loan production office.
