Growing and prosperous companies in the middle market, defined as those companies with annual revenue between $100 million and $1 billion, face numerous challenges as they decide to expand their business and market. The two most often sited challenges to growth by these companies is:
- Financing their expansions
- Recruiting and retaining talent
JobsOhio, the private sector economic development corporation for the state of Ohio, has helped many middle market companies solve the first challenge, and grow in Ohio through its JobsOhio Growth Fund Loan. From June 2016 through May 2017, JobsOhio invested $37,700,000 of loan proceeds into 12 projects that leveraged $453,551,994 of private capital investment. Because of these investments 1,632 jobs will be created with a cumulative payroll of $59,204,836 and the retention of 814 jobs. The average loan size was $3,140,000.
