Copper Door Coffee Roasters

“B:Side stuck by me when businesses were closing down and the idea of opening a coffee shop during a pandemic seemed like a bad business move. I was confident it would work, and they trusted me.”

Thrive Yoga

“The staff at B:Side were incredible to work with and walked me through all of my options. They held my hand throughout the entire process, and I could tell that they had the best intentions for my success.”

Fire Within

“I felt my experience with B:Side was unique as each individual I dealt with was passionate about what they did. That’s a very rare quality in an organization. Anything that I needed, there was an immediate response. And I was the same way. I needed the loan, so I made sure my loan officers had all of the necessary paperwork quickly. And we closed my loan at a record speed.”
