Small Businesses in Nevada

It is difficult to start and manage a small business in this state. In Nevada, more than $39,137,038,000.00 US dollars is spent on employee salaries/payroll alone, and every year, more than 31,037 businesses go bankrupt. The federal government does not publicly provide grants to entrepreneurs for expanding or starting a business. However, small business grants can be provided in Nevada to help business owners start and grow their ventures. Moreover, grant recipients don’t have to repay the government funding.
