SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES, INC. is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United States under 588042, and its current status with South Carolina Secretary of State is active. The company was incorporated on 17 June 2013 and lists its registered address as Greenville, United States. 5 shareholders are on record for SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES, INC., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from South Carolina Secretary of State and was last updated on 3 October 2026.

Shareholders

5

Five shareholders are currently on record for SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES, INC., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.

The largest of these is Endeavour Capital Advisors Inc, holding 9.2% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Vanguard Group Inc at 6.9%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

The register reports 6 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Group Structure

SOUTHERN FIRST BANCSHARES, INC. has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 1 subsidiary recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 1 subsidiary spans United States jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
