SOIF Revolving Loan Fund

Empowering Butler County Businesses & Startups

The Southwest Ohio Improvement Fund (SOIF) Revolving Loan Fund provides accessible, flexible financing to help local entrepreneurs launch, grow, and create jobs within Butler County. Designed to bridge financial gaps for businesses that may not qualify for traditional bank loans, our loan fund offers low-cost capital up to $50,000 for working capital, facility improvements, startup expenses and up to $100,000 for manufacturing equipment purchases. We place a strong emphasis on supporting businesses located in low-income communities and Qualified Census Tracts, though all eligible local small businesses are encouraged to apply.
