Ocean State Business Development - OSBDA

New owners reopen Trinity Brewhouse after months of restorations Trinity Brewhouse has reopened under new ownership, but preparing the restaurant for the moment was no easy feat, owner Angel Winpenny said.

We recently attended the SBA Lender Awards where we accepted our 9th consecutive 'Rhode Island Certified Development Company of the Year' award!

It was another great year for us, spent helping small businesses in Rhode Island, as well as Massachusetts and Connecticut, get access to the capital that they need.

This award would not be possible without our amazing Customers, Partner Banks, Board Members, and Closing Attorneys.

Additionally, thank you to the U.S. Small Business Administration Rhode Island District Office and SCORE Rhode Island for hosting the event, and to our Board Members and Closing Attorneys for attending the ceremony alongside us.

We are looking forward to what this new year has in store!

Ocean State Business Development would like to extend our congratulations to the newly-retired Rhode Island SBA District Director, Mark Hayward!

Mark had a rewarding and successful career within the small business community, as he dedicated nearly 30 years to being the Rhode Island District Director.

He has impacted countless individuals and businesses along the way, and we thank him for all he has done for Rhode Island Small Business!

We wish him the very best in this next chapter, enjoy retirement Mark!

OSBDA was recently awarded 'Rhode Island Certified Development Company of the Year' for the 8th consecutive year!

We had another incredible year- approving over $19,000,000+ in loans to small businesses. This resulted in OSBDA doing more SBA Lending than another other financial institution in the state of Rhode Island!

This award would not be possible without our amazing Customers, Partner Banks, Board Members, and Closing Attorneys.

Thank you to the U.S. Small Business Administration Rhode Island District Office for the award, and to our Board Members and Closing Attorneys for attending the ceremony alongside us.
