More Nevada small firms qualify for NV Grow

Beginning July 1, 2025, your Nevada business can join NV Grow if it makes $35,000 to $700,000 a year. Your main office must have been in Nevada for at least 2 years. You also need a written business plan. This lowers the old $50,000 minimum and lets more small firms in.

Funding and deadlines for NV Grow help

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada provides $1.2 million to the College of Southern Nevada to run NV Grow and pay training, stipends, software, and other program costs. Each fiscal year, $100,000 goes to the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension in Clark County for counseling, GIS training, and data work. Each fiscal year, $30,000 goes to the Urban, Las Vegas Latin, Henderson, African, and AAPI chambers to hire a part‑time marketing pro for the program. No new spending can be committed after June 30, 2027, and no money can be spent after September 17, 2027; any funds left must return to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027. On July 1, 2025, any uncommitted donations move into a State General Fund account for NV Grow; CSN must report spending by December 18, 2026 and again by September 17, 2027, and make records available for audit.
