FLO Business Solutions is demonstrating that bigger is not always better. Founded in 2021 by Jimmy Moore and his son Brandon, the South Carolina-based company has quickly become a trusted partner for small and medium-sized businesses by offering a boutique approach to payments, payroll, marketing, point-of-sale (POS) solutions, and lending. “At FLO, we pick up the phone,” says Jimmy. “In a world of endless phone trees and automated replies, we aim to bring a human face to a fast-paced technology world.”
That commitment to personal service is what sets FLO apart from the massive corporations that dominate the fintech industry. Where large providers often lock clients into proprietary systems and prioritize shareholder returns, FLO tailors solutions to meet the specific needs of each business. “We are not here to serve giants in the industry,” Brandon insists. “We are here to serve Main Street and other like-minded entrepreneurs across the communities we serve.”
The company’s approach begins with what Jimmy describes as “PTC:” People, Technology, and Community. FLO engages clients in a consultative process, listening closely to their challenges and goals before recommending the right mix of services. “We meet businesses where they are,” Jimmy explains. “Whether it’s payments, payroll, or marketing, we adapt the technology to fit them, rather than the other way around.”
FLO’s consultative approach is anchored in what the company calls the “FLOverse,” a suite of five core offerings designed to cover every stage of business operations. Its payment processing solutions help facilitate transactions in-store, online, or on the go. Meanwhile, its point-of-sale options include multiple software systems, among them FLO’s own POS platform, designed to fit each client’s needs.
On the workforce side, FLO delivers payroll and HR support that spans the full employee lifecycle, offering “solutions from recruitment to retirement” through four different platforms. The company also provides a full spectrum of marketing services, from website development and SEO to social media management, digital signage, targeted email and text campaigns, and even AI-powered customer engagement tools. Rounding out the FLOverse is FLO’s lending service, which provides businesses with access to working capital and loans to help them grow with confidence.
“It’s essentially a one-stop shop,” Brandon says. “Businesses should not have to juggle five different vendors. We bring it all under one roof.”
That comprehensive model is backed by a leadership team of seasoned professionals, including VP roles in each of the business’s divisions, covering operations, sales support, payroll, and marketing, along with a general manager and chief technology officer. The company is supported by referral partners and sales agents across the country. “We are not just selling services,” Brandon emphasizes. “We are building collaborative partnerships that we hope will last.”
The results speak for themselves. “That’s because we actually work to deliver what we commit to,” says Jimmy. “Our clients stay with us because they know we are fighting for them.”
The company’s growth has been equally impressive. FLO reports notable yearly growth, operating debt-free while executing what FLO calls ‘the billion-dollar stride’ mark. “And we are doing it without the weight of debt holding us down or chasing overpromised shareholder dividends,” says Brandon.
But the company is not just focused on numbers. FLO is actively looking ahead to the next generation of technology, exploring biometric payments, crypto solutions, and advanced AI tools to stay ahead of client needs. “Innovation is in our DNA,” Brandon explains. “We are constantly looking at what’s next, so our clients are never left behind.”
At the same time, FLO is intentional about its culture and talent strategy. “We want the right people on the bus, placed in the right roles, who truly care about meaningful relationships,” Jimmy says. “Attracting quality talent is key to delivering the level of service our clients deserve.” The company hopes to use its growth story not only to win clients but also to recruit skilled professionals who share its people-first values.
For FLO, the future is not about being acquired or exiting; it’s about building a legacy. “We are not going anywhere,” Jimmy states. “We are not looking to sell. This is about family, community, loyalty, and relationships.”
In a crowded industry where size and scale often overshadow service, FLO Business Solutions is carving out a different path, one rooted in trust, innovation, and a determination to fight for the businesses it serves. As Jimmy puts it, “Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of America. And at FLO, we are in their corner, every single round.”
