IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2026
The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) has received its second tranche of State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. With this additional support, GOED is moving the program into its next phase, incorporating recent market shifts and addressing evolving needs among both lenders and Nevada’s small businesses. The goal is to offer a broader and more flexible suite of loan products that better align with current demand.
As part of this transition, the Nevada Battle Born Growth Microloan Program will undergo a redesign to enhance its performance and effectiveness, ensuring it can more fully meet the microloan needs of small businesses across the state.
During the redesign period, GOED will pause the processing of new microloan applications. However, free Technical Assistance delivered through our partner, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), will remain available via the SBDC website. These services, including support with business planning, financial statements, marketing strategies, and more, will continue to prepare entrepreneurs for success and accelerate participation once the updated program launches.
Please check back in Q1 for updates.
