Thriving at 30: Corporate Billing
Corporate Billing at 30: Still Helping Companies Thrive
Most customers know SouthState as a place to go for financial planning, obtaining a mortgage, getting a car loan, or managing business accounts. Thousands of businesses also rely on a SouthState division for the long-term growth and expansion of their operations.
Meet Corporate Billing – a division of SouthState with industry support at the forefront of its mission. Since 1995, Corporate Billing has provided much-needed agility and flexibility for businesses poised for growth.
Corporate Billing comes alongside companies to eliminate credit risk, improve cash flow, and support expansion through flexible capital funding solutions. As President Leif Founds explains, Corporate Billing provides resources quickly to meet the needs of its varied clients.
“We ensure our clients have the capital needed to operate and take care of their clients. We fund their daily business’s transactions, which enables them to focus on expanding and growing their companies,” he says.
As with all SouthState client interactions, forming relationships is key. Relationship Executives purposefully get to know the business owners and what their company needs.
“We’ve developed countless relationships over the years, gaining clients’ confidence and trust with expert advice and solutions,” Founds says. “No matter the day or time, they know they can reach out to us with questions or concerns.”
Many of Corporate Billing’s original team remains with the company today. Founds champions the family approach, which he believes has contributed to employee longevity.
“We celebrate with one another, we support one another in times of trials, and we truly care for each other,” he says. “We have been truly blessed with an amazing team!”
Knowing that co-workers spend a lot of their time together, Founds reminds his team that while they will agree or disagree on how to reach the common goals, they must remember they are all on the same team trying to get to the same place.
