When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Central Ohio entrepreneurs whose financing access has been constrained.

What to weigh carefully

  • Program eligibility, underwriting and fund availability apply.
  • The site also lists partner products; those offers are not automatically Freedom Equity loans.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my business meet this fund’s geography and disadvantage criteria?
  2. What current pricing, security and guarantee would apply to my microloan?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.

Ohio Statewide Development Corporation

Ohio Statewide Development offers an Ohio fixed-asset financing comparison.

Huntington Bank
