Denise Clemence was on top of everything. She was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure we understood the process. As a new person acquiring a business, I didn’t know everything, and she was very helpful. I really appreciate what she did for me and my wife. I would recommend her and Dogwood State Bank to other small business owners in a heartbeat.
