The LaVie Institute - Growth Through Partnership
Every business has a story, each with chapters of growth, challenges, and major successes. For The LaVie Institute, a full-service surgical facility, their impressive growth meant finding a financial partner who could evolve with them and support their needs. Based in Lone Tree, LaVie specializes in a diverse range of world-class procedures, including aesthetic and non-surgical wellness treatments.
The impact of the care they provide for their patients is extensive. Dr. Ryan Endress, Dr. Benson Pulikkottil, Dr. Wojciech Przylecki, and Dr. Lily Daniali are dedicated to providing their clients a high-quality, comprehensive experience, as proven by their exceptional client feedback.
As a locally-managed bank, Flatirons Bank has the privilege of connecting with businesses that provide integral services to our community and keep our local economy alive and thriving. As part of our Professional Services Banking program, we create tailored solutions for service-based businesses like LaVie, offering the support they need for both their business and personal banking, which are often so intertwined.
Growth Opportunities Through Strategic Lending
The LaVie Institute needed to build cutting-edge facilities to effectively execute their wide range of diverse services. They planned to build a Medical Spa and surgery facility focused on their client’s experience and comfort, and after being connected with Flatirons Bank, they were ready to make it a reality.
In our discovery process, we did a deep dive into LaVie’s business and construction plans, enabling us to fully understand their needs and address the specificities of their contract. Their general contractor first required a down payment, and as the project progressed, another midpoint payment was necessary. Our lending team was able to uniquely structure the loan, allowing the release of the funds for LaVie in advance of the work being completed, which kept the construction process on track and timely. Flatirons Bank also adjusted the loan so LaVie could focus on covering startup costs before full payments began.
With their construction project and loan complete, The LaVie Institute has been able to open its doors to new clients and new opportunities.
“Flatirons Bank has been more than just a financial institution; they’ve been a true partner in our growth. Their ability to structure financing around the realities of building our new facility allowed us to move forward with confidence. Having the right banking partner makes the difference between simply managing growth and actually accelerating it,” wrote Tracy Craig, The LaVie Institute Representative.

Along with their business operating accounts, leadership at LaVie decided to streamline their banking by keeping their personal banking endeavors with Flatirons Bank.

With LaVie, we’ve achieved this by taking the time to understand what matters most to them in both their business and personal financial lives and tailoring our services accordingly,” said Cameron Collins, AVP, Commercial Relationship Manager at Flatirons Bank.

Whether it’s the details of day-to-day operations, ownership and staffing changes, or major investments in infrastructure, we value creating sustainable solutions that support the complete picture of our clients’ financial lives, personal and professional.
We’ve worked with a wide range of service-based businesses, shaping and reshaping our banking support to fit different stages of growth and demand.
