If your business has been affected by the pandemic, be sure to apply!  If your business qualifies, you can apply for this new grant program even if you also applied for/received the Mahoning County Small Business Relief Grant. This is a different grant.

The application process opens November 2 at businesshelp.ohio.gov.

Grants will provide $10,000 to small businesses in Ohio with no more than 25 employees.

Eligible businesses that are approved to receive grants can use the money for a variety of expenses, including mortgage or rent payments; utility payments; salaries, wages, or compensation for employees and contractors; business supplies or equipment; and other costs.

$500,000 will be set aside for businesses in each of Ohio’s 88 counties, and grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. When a county’s allocation is depleted, businesses in that county will be eligible to receive grants from the remaining funds in the overall grant program. If businesses in a county do not deplete the county’s allocation within 21 days after the application period opens, the remaining funds will become available to businesses statewide.

We will continue to post important information about programs that can help you and your business make it through these tough times.  

As always, contact us if you have questions or need our assistance.
