Customer Appreciation Month Spotlight: Tasteful Additions
It’s Customer Appreciation Month at SmartBiz! Not only do we love helping small business owners get low-cost funds, we also love supporting small businesses.
From the local coffee shop to the flower store on the corner, our team strives to “shop small”. When we saw the product line-up at the
Tasteful Additions specialty shop in Rochester, New York, we just knew we needed to try some of the tapenades, oils, vinegars and salts. We jumped on the website and in a few days, armed with some yummy baguettes from a local bakery, we were ready for a tasting party! The office event was a smashing success. Not only was the team happy to chill out, they were crazy about the snacks.
SmartBiz CMO Judy Balint is a true fan. She says, “The Fig balsamic was INCREDIBLE! I can see why people order it online from across the country!” Thanks to
Tasteful Additions owner
Asha Waterstreet for all that you do to support the economy!

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.
