David Aferiat/Avid Vines

Avid Vines puts French & European clean, sustainably crafted wine within walking distance of desire. AVID Vines was started to solve the problems experienced the next day after celebrating – which is why their selections are characterized by lower alcohol, fewer sulfites, and the highest quality and classification of juice. They temperature control their shipments from vineyard to destination to reinforce this approach. In fact, they call it an OCEAN of difference (TM) compared to the industrial production of the widely marketed brands which stands for Organic methods, Chilled on import, Exceptionally reviewed, Artisanal, with #NoRegrets.

Mac Cregger/Angel Oak Home Loans

Angel Oak Home Loans has had the pleasure of helping a significant number of homebuyers become proud homeowners. This is because they offer traditional loans along with a portfolio suite of products for those who fall outside of conventional guidelines. Every client is different and they recognize that through their innovative offerings for people with diverse loan circumstances. Not every lender has the options to help and that is what sets them apart in the mortgage industry. Angel Oak’s licensed mortgage advisors are experts at guiding homebuyers to the right product and getting to the closing table as quickly as possible. They understand that busy lives do not come to a halt during a home purchase and the MyHomeLoan mobile app allows their clients to view their mortgage on the go.

Their most popular programs include Bank Statement, which is ideal for self-employed borrowers, with no tax returns required; Jumbo, which helps those purchasing homes outside the conforming limit; Non-Prime, for those with lower credit scores; Investor Cash Flow, which allows investors to grow their portfolios; and Foreign National, with non-US credit accepted, no tax returns or Social Security number required.

Glade Johnson/Advantage Protective Services

Glade Johnson is a former FBI Agent who worked for two national companies before buying Advantage Protective Services in 2004. Glade focuses on customer service and relationships, as well as taking care of his employees so they feel good about working for his company. This reduces turnover. He also provides them with an excellent benefit package. In addition, they offer advances to employees when they need it. He doesn’t know of any other companies in any industry that does that. Several clients have been with Advantage Protection Services 10 to 14 years. They try to build lasting relationships with their clients.

Scott Tanksley/Authentity

Authentity provides a software tool that leads people through a face-to-face conversation in 30 minutes or less. Rather than answering a computer, they catalyze people talking to people, which raises the engagement level of the participants and generates understanding and buy-in. That’s a local win, but they’re also able to connect and report these conversations at scale to give leaders insight on a topic and faster, more actionable data from their stakeholders. Their initial users have been teams in large companies, and they’ve been affectionately called “Undercover Boss in a Box”.

A new building with an old soul, Embassy National Bank was founded in 2007 to meet a need of its community: a truly business-friendly local partner who could make lending and banking accessible, straightforward and grounded. A local group of businessmen with backgrounds in finance, banking and hospitality created that partner for the greater Atlanta area, especially the communities of Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee and Norcross. To support that vision, Embassy National Bank has assembled a team of managers and bankers with both local and nationwide experience to support the bank’s mission: to be the community partner small businesses want, and one their neighbors need.
