Welcome to the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) Searchable Loan Database.  This tool has been created to assist entrepreneurs and business owners in the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) region with identifying financing available for business start-ups and/or expansions.

We hope this tool is of assistance to you in the start-up or expansion of your business venture.  This database includes loan programs managed by public or non-profit organizations.  Loan programs from banks, credit unions, or other traditional private financing sources are not included in this database.  You should consult with those institutions about their financing options separately.

You may click on View all Records to view the complete list of loan programs, or narrow your search by using one of the query options below.  You can select more than one query option to further narrow your search.

Note:  This database is a work in progress.  If you are aware of any public or non-profit loan funds that are available to businesses in the OVRDC counties, then please email us the name and/or details of such programs at email@ovrdc.org.  Thank you.
