The Ohio SBDC at Columbus State is proud to be the Kiva Columbus Hub for Central Ohio. Understanding the challenges that most small businesses experience with access to capital due to limited collateral, credit challenges, limited investments, and early-stage lending, Kiva removes those barriers by providing a non-traditional capital alternative.
Kiva is a character-based, community-backed lender. Kiva provides funding opportunities for entrepreneurs who do not fit into the box of traditional conventional financing. Kiva loans are 0% interest, up to $15,000. The loans offer 6 – 36 month terms with no late fees or prepayment penalties for paying off your loan early. The SBDC is here to assist you in navigating the application process and to champion community support. Join us online at OHBDC.eventbrite.com
