2024 Nevada Small Business Challenges Survey Results

Each year, Nevada SBDC surveys its clients to find out what challenges Nevada small businesses are facing. Discover what 2024's issues and challenges were.

Nevada Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI)

SSBCI is designed to catalyze private capital in the form of loans to and investments in small businesses, especially in historically underserved communities and among entrepreneurs who may have otherwise lacked the support needed to pursue their business ambitions.
