Central Ohio's #1 Small Business Resource

10/13/2026

Every great local business has a story of heart, heritage, and determination behind it. ❤️

Bella came to the U.S. as a woman immigrant with a vision to build a bright future through hard work. Through her food production business right here in Columbus, she shares authentic rich flavors, traditions, and cultural heritage while opening doors for growth in our local economy.

She is currently raising capital through a 0%-interest crowdfunding campaign on Kiva to invest in essential equipment that will allow her to expand, serve more customers, and scale her operations!

Because Kiva is a micro-lending platform, community members can back her growth starting at just $25—and as her business grows, those funds are repaid back to you.

Let's support her journey! Take a look at her story, share her campaign, or lend to help her reach her goal:

Kiva is a loan, not a donation. With Kiva you can lend as little as $25 and make a big change in someone's life.

Small businesses are the heart of our community, and behind every great business is a passionate founder working to make an impact.

💡One of the incredible local entrepreneurs we’ve had the privilege of supporting is currently in the final stretch of her 0%-interest Kiva crowdfunding campaign! She has just 9 days left to reach her goal and unlock the capital needed to take her business to the next level.

With Kiva, support starts with as little as $25—and because it’s a loan, an investment is paid back to to the investor as her business grows!

Let’s rally together to support local innovation. Check out her story, share her campaign, or chip in to help cross the finish line:👇[LINK:

It’s official: Ohio is the No. 1 State for Business in America for 2026! 🏆 🎉

CNBC just released its annual rankings, and for the first time in history, the Buckeye State took the top spot. CNBC highlighted Ohio's unbeatable physical infrastructure, unmatched market access (over 143 million people are within a day’s drive!), and our low cost of doing business.

But out here at the Ohio Small Business Development Center (SBDC), we know the real secret behind this historic win: YOU.

Our community of relentless entrepreneurs, startups, and micro-businesses are the true backbone of Ohio's economy. When the state provides a strong foundation, it’s our local business owners who build the future.

Whether you are launching a new startup or scaling up your operations, your SBDC team at Columbus State Community College is here to help you capitalize on this momentum. Let’s keep growing together! 💼🌱

👉 What does being the #1 state mean for your business growth this year? Let us know in the comments!

Ohio tops CNBC's rankings for the first time in 2026, with the Buckeye State culminating a yearslong climb as the place to do business in America.
