OSDC underwent significant change in 2023, including the appointment of a new Board President and Executive Director, as well as dramatic growth in our small business lending portfolio. We’re helping more businesses in more places in Ohio than ever before.
Insight from our diverse and creative borrowers is informing the new lending programs we’re building and the banking and economic development partnerships we’re establishing. It is their ingenuity and hope for the future that fuels our expansion and economic impact in the state.
On behalf of the OSDC Board of Directors and our amazing staff, thank you for giving us the opportunity to help small businesses across Ohio secure the financing they need to grow. We’re excited about what the next year will bring.
Chris Magill, OSDC Board President

Small businesses are the heart of everything we do. When they thrive, we thrive.
OSDC is proud to have directly helped 61 small businesses in Ohio achieve a loan approval or funding. Hundreds more were indirectly assisted through day-to-day interactions, portfolio management, and technical assistance to find the right financing solution.
In fact, OSDC’s small business portfolio now stands at 295 loans spread across every region of Ohio and more than half of the counties. Our efforts have contributed approximately $105 million in lending and more than $380 million in public and private investment to Ohio’s economy.
IMPACT
