Ohio Establishes New "Office of Small Business Relief"

A new office has been developed within the Ohio Development Services Agency to better coordinate Ohio's efforts to identify and provide support for Ohio’s nearly 950,000 small businesses.

The Office of Small Business Relief will:

• Serve as the state’s designated agency for administrating federal recovery funds awarded to Ohio for small business support and recovery;

• Work with federal, state, and local partners to evaluate and determine possible regulatory reforms that encourage employment and job creation; and

• Coordinate efforts of Ohio’s Small Business Development Centers and Minority Business Assistance Centers.

More information on all resources currently available to small businesses is available at coronavirus.ohio.gov/BusinessHelp.
