SmartBiz Spotlight: Real business stories
Celebrating small business resilience and innovation.
We’re inspired by the remarkable journeys of our clients:
Off-Road Vixens
Shari and Carey, owners of Off-Road Vixens, needed funds for growth and to help save money, so they took out an SBA loan with a low rate and a 10-year term.
Carey says, “We used the funds to consolidate payments so our monthly obligations are less. We’re also using the proceeds for working capital and to build our credit line.” They also want to add technical products, like helmets and goggles, to help them stay relevant and grow.

School for the Dogs
Annie secured two SBA loans and she is using the funds to fuel expansion:
“We hired 2 new employees to help us run things so we can provide more services to dog owners in need. Having money in the bank made it possible to make those hires,” says Annie, owner of School for the Dogs. “We’re also looking to become more involved in teaching additional trainers our methods. We want to offer additional services out in the field.”

Sonoma County Carpentry
Russell came to SmartBiz during a period of growth and worked with us to secure an SBA loan that enabled him to continue expanding his business.
'Because of SmartBiz and the opportunity you gave me to leverage the financial resources to grow my business, not only did I double my revenue, but I am now in a position to purchase three other businesses to expand even bigger, better, and faster,' said Russell, Owner of Sonoma County Carpentry.

- We conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, in processing your loan application, SmartBiz Bank and the lenders with whom we work will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may impact your credit score.
- Numbers based on internal reporting and metrics.
- Subject to credit approval. Your loan amount will be determined based on many factors, including your credit and financial profile. Not all applicants will qualify for the full amount.
- Based on internal data YTD 2024. Actual refinance savings will vary based on loan size and rate, as well as the amount and pricing of debt refinanced.
