What does B:Side Capital Do?
At B:Side Capital, we're all about helping small businesses access the responsible capital they need to grow and thrive. We do this through special loans backed by the government, known as Small Business Administration 504 and 7(a) loans. We're not just here to lend money; we're here to be a friend and ally to both banks and entrepreneurs.
We're on a mission with our sibling, B:Side Fund, to support communities that don't get enough attention, helping them thrive and create jobs through these loans and our direct lending efforts. We're the go-to for lenders when they come across a business that's a bit too unique for traditional bank loans. Since kicking off in 1990, we've been able to back nearly 5,000 small businesses, creating over 33,000 jobs and pumping almost $9.06 billion into the local economy.
We’re headquartered in Denver, Colorado but also have offices in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.
