Ventus Capital Services, Inc. will establish a new financial services operation in Greenville, according to the S.C. Department of Commerce and the Greenville Economic Development Corporation (GADC). Located in the Dillon Building at Park East along I-385, the company will invest about $2 million, occupy some 21,000 square feet, and create approximately 200 new jobs within five years. Ventus Capital Services is a financial services firm specializing in financial management assistance for medical facilities. The firm works closely with financial firms across the United States and represents various medical facilities throughout the Southeast. The owners of Ventus Capital Services decided to start the new company after seeing an opportunity to fill a unique niche in the marketplace. They chose the Greenville area to establish operations due to customer proximity, easy access to major interstates, a quality work force, and the belief that the area can support future growth for the company. �We�re looking forward to beginning operations and becoming actively involved in the community. I know with our technological abilities combined with a great work force, we can be a positive impact in the financial services field,� said Scott Berlinger, chief information officer for Ventus Capital Services, Inc. "It's pretty clear that we're starting to see a lot more success as a state in competing for companies in the financial services industry," said Governor Mark Sanford. "We've got some real competitive advantages to offer on the quality of life and workforce front, and what's critical now is that we're expanding on those advantages by improving our underlying business climate. For us, that starts with lowering our income tax rate so that local economic development folks have some additional arrows in their quivers." The 400-employee, privately held Ventus Capital recovers delinquent auto loans, credit card debt and healthcare-industry receivables. �This announcement reflects the fact that financial services is booming in the South,� said Commerce Secretary Bob Faith. �The talents of South Carolina�s workers are transferable across all industries, including the financial world. Combine that with our excellent business climate, livable communities, low cost of living, and great universities and South Carolina is poised to gain ground in the financial sector.� (Image provided by Ventus.)
