The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 to help entrepreneurs secure the resources they need to start, grow, or strengthen their businesses. As a Certified Development Company (CDC) and Lender Service Provider (LSP), B:Side Capital partners with the SBA and lending institutions to make SBA 504 and SBA 7(a) loans more accessible across the communities we serve.
With over 35 years of experience, B:Side Capital is your premier SBA 504 lending partner. We go the extra mile, from data collection all the way to servicing, helping to educate small business owners and lenders every step of the way.
We proudly serve Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, providing responsible small business lending solutions that support long-term economic growth. Our SBA designations (Priority CDC, ALP, ASM, and PCLP) reflect our commitment to excellence and to getting projects of all shapes and sizes across the finish line.
Through this unique public-private partnership, SBA 504 loans are financed in part by a bank (50% of the total loan), in part by B:Side Capital on behalf of SBA (up to 40% of the total loan), and in part by the business owner (10%, 15%, or 20% depending on the type of business and if it’s a startup).
As a nationwide Lender Service Provider, B:Side Capital works with banks and credit unions to support their SBA 7(a) lending. We handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes while allowing lending institutions to maintain strong relationships with their clients.
Our partners rely on us for clear communication, transparent pricing, and reliable turnaround times—helping them offer SBA lending confidently and efficiently.

When you choose B:Side, you’re not just selecting any CDC or Lender Service Provider. You’re joining a mission-driven organization dedicated to the success of small businesses, leveraging decades of experience, expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
