JobsOhio Small Business Grant

The JobsOhio Small Business Grant provides up to $50,000 in financial assistance to eligible small businesses in Ohio's designated distressed communities or owned by underrepresented populations, supporting growth through investment, job creation, and workforce training. Eligible companies must have been in operation for at least one year, demonstrate $100,000 in annual revenues, and have total revenues up to $25M, with the business operating in one of JobsOhio's targeted industries. The program is reimbursement-based and typically covers no more than 50% of eligible investment over a three-year commitment window. Retail, point-of-sale, and population-driven businesses are not eligible for this grant.
