The Ashtabula County 503 Corporation was formed in 1983 as a private, non-profit corporation with the mission of promoting job creation and economic development in Ashtabula County. To accomplish this mission, the 503 Corporation administers a Revolving Loan Fund. The fund has been capitalized over the years with monies from State and Federal resources. These funds are loaned to businesses in Ashtabula County, usually below market rates. As the loans are repaid, with interest, the Loan Fund money becomes available to lend to the next business in need of financing. In addition to managing the Ashtabula County Revolving Loan Fund, the 503 Corporation serves as the manager and administrator of the Revolving Loan Funds for the cities of Conneaut and Geneva. The 503 Corporation serves as the local contact agency for the Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 and State of Ohio Regional 166 loan programs.
