MOST SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE SOMETHING STANDING IN THE WAY OF GROWTH. WE HELP THEM SECURE THE FINANCING THEY NEED TO OVERCOME IT.
Our mission is to promote business investment and job creation by providing SBA 504 and Ohio 166 loans to small businesses for buildings and equipment. Sometimes that means lending directly to businesses, other times it means partnering with their existing lender. But the end result is the same: we help small businesses across Ohio secure the financing they need to grow.
HOW WE CAN HELP
We provide real estate and equipment loans with low-interest fixed rates that help small businesses grow.
WE MAKE THE PROCESS EASY
We think our borrowers should focus on growing their small business, not filling out forms.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Sometimes we partner with a lender, other times we work directly with a small business owner.
