Testimonials

"We have already had one investor for $25K, and another who is very involved in the food business, who could be a funder on a much larger level. So we are very pleased, and offer our thanks."

I am a 49 year-old widowed engineer living in the Dayton metropolitan area. My background for the past 25 years has been in the defense industry for the past and I am looking for passive silent investing opportunities that create a consistent flow as I slowly transition from working 40 hours per week to much less. I have just started looking towards this career shift so I am still new to this arena. My assets have mostly come from saving through retirement vehicles. I would probably look for an initial small scale investment to start building a relationship for future opportunities.

I'm a private investor originally from the east coast but relocated to central Ohio about five years ago. I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Economics from Ohio State University and currently work as a Budget Officer. I've always had a passion for small businesses and startups as I am the son of entrepreneurs that was exposed to the rigorous demands of starting your own business.

I work with an investment firm, where we have a fund focused on supporting operating businesses in Ohio counties with less than 200,000 residents. Our non-bank capital can be used as gap financing to support working capital, equipment purchases, or acquisition financing. We focus on existing cash flows to ensure the business can support our investment, which is primarily debt investments, either senior or subordinated debt. Our investment size is customarily between $500k - $5MM. We also have a Pennsylvania fund focused on rural opportunities, as well as a national fund for larger opportunities.
