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

The Office of Small Business Relief will:

  • Serve as the stateā€™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 Ohioā€™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.
