Does the SBDC give business loans or grants?
The Springfield SBDC does not provide any grants. However, we do administer several economic development loan programs for the City of Springfield, Ohio, Clark County, Ohio and a loan program specifically designed for day care providers. Through an associated company, Clark County Development Corporation, we administer the SBA 504 Loan Program. These loans generally require the participation of a commercial lender for 50% to 60% of the projects cost.
