Because Southern Light is a private company, information about the actual mining operations from which they receive their minerals is kept secret from the public. For the capital, as the business is expanding again, it would need a factory to build the fiber optic cables, tools such as forklifts and the like to design, build and maintain fiber optic structures, vehicles for transportation of goods and for customers and more. As for labor, human resources are needed to build the fiber optic cables, transfer them, and install them in customers' homes, businesses, and other environments. Southern Light has approximately 51 to 200 employees throughout the Gulf Coast and could grow as expansion begins. The manufacturing entrepreneur is the person who brings them all together to make the business profitable. This guy is Eric Daniels, the chief operating officer of Southern Light. All four factors of production, land, entrepreneur, labor and capital are the major contributors of Southern Light. Every factor of production has played a vital role in the development and growth of the business. The services provided by this Inc. 500 company can help the community a lot.
