B:Side University is a learning platform created by B:Side Capital and B:Side Fund, two sides of the same nonprofit lender. B:Side Capital specializes in SBA 504 loans, while B:Side Fund offers unique small business financing options, including SBA 7(a) loans, designed to support early-stage to established businesses located in New Mexico. B:Side Fund loans deploy money that is acquired through a combination of grants, program-related investments, and loans from lending partners such as the New Mexico Small Business Investment Corporation to help entrepreneurs access responsible capital to start and grow their operations.

The June 3 event is conducted live in an open question-and-answer format. Questions can be submitted ahead of time or asked during the live session.

Karen Hairston, Business Systems & Profitability Consultant, leads the session. With more than two decades of experience, Hairston helps business leaders stop “growing broke” and start scaling with clarity, control, and sustainable profitability. Hairston will share her expertise on building strong business systems, uncovering hidden profit opportunities, and aligning operations, finances, and people strategy to enable a business to grow without burnout. She’ll answer questions in real time and offer practical, actionable strategies that can be implemented immediately.

The interactive session is for businesses navigating cash flow challenges, refining operations, or preparing for the next stage of growth — and more — and it is designed to provide clarity, confidence, and direction.

Questions can be submitted in advance on Typeform or asked during the live session.
