Remember though that government does not really provide the loans directly, but they guarantee the loan. You still have to apply to a financial organization such as banks that work with SBA — and among their criteria include collateral and the applicant’s personal history. You can read about the government loan criteria of SBA at http://www.sba.gov/financing

The State of Ohio website has a link for businesses that takes you to a site called Business.Ohio.gov. Their stated purpose is “making government accessible to you and your business. It’s about government agencies working together to help you find the information and services you need to keep your business thriving in Ohio.” See this link: http://business.ohio.gov/business_cycle/…
The Small Business Administration has offices in Cleveland and Columbus. They might be worth contacting. (see below for links)
