A Work Culture Built on Core Values

Small Biz Heroes, headquartered in Wesley Heights, just outside the financial district of Charlotte, North Carolina, has long been celebrated for its distinct approach to business and employee engagement. With a mission to empower entrepreneurs through innovative funding solutions, Small Biz Heroes also prioritizes its internal culture. At the heart of their success is their HEROES Core Values, which guide their relationships and decisions: Honest, Enduring, Redemptive, Optimistic, Empathetic, and Steadfast.

These values are not just a set of ideals; they are the foundation upon which the company builds both its business and its relationships with employees. Small Biz Heroes promotes transparency, open communication, and continuous growth for its team, ensuring that each member feels valued and supported. As a result, employees experience a dynamic and fulfilling work environment where their contributions are recognized and rewarded.

Leading by Example: Empowering Employees

The company’s growth story is a reflection of the values that Small Biz Heroes upholds. Founded by Zach Siegel, a former Wall Street professional who left behind a stable career to help small business owners access the capital they need, Small Biz Heroes has always aimed to build more than just a business, it’s built a movement. Zach’s leadership style is deeply rooted in empathy, integrity, and empowerment, ensuring that the team aligns with the company’s larger mission.

“The goal has always been to create an environment where people don’t just show up to work, they feel like they are part of something bigger. Here, we empower our employees to help small businesses thrive. Their growth is as important to us as our clients’ growth,” said Zach Siegel, Founder & CEO.

A Thriving Environment for Growth

The Best Place to Work in Charlotte USA of 2025 award is a testament to Small Biz Heroes’ focus on nurturing talent and providing professional development opportunities. As the company continues to grow, they remain committed to hiring top-tier professionals who share the company’s vision and values. In 2026, Small Biz Heroes will expand its team, bringing on funding managers and sales professionals who will join their mission to empower entrepreneurs nationwide.

Small Biz Heroes has also invested in creating a modern, purpose-built headquarters in Charlotte that fosters creativity, collaboration, and community. This new office space is not just a place to work, it’s a space designed to inspire. With a strong focus on culture, the company aims to be a magnet for talented professionals who are eager to make an impact.

What Makes Small Biz Heroes Stand Out as an Employer

Small Biz Heroes doesn’t just focus on the external growth of small businesses, they understand the importance of fostering an environment where their employees can grow and succeed. By offering competitive compensation, a supportive atmosphere, and a culture of recognition, Small Biz Heroes ensures that every member of their team feels valued and motivated.

Employees consistently praise the company for its commitment to work-life balance, personal growth, and creating a truly inclusive environment. According to one employee: “Working at Small Biz Heroes feels like being part of a family. The leadership truly cares about my personal success, and they’ve helped me grow both professionally and personally. It’s the best workplace I’ve ever had.”
