When small businesses thrive, communities flourish. At Advantage Capital, we understand that for many Nevada business owners—especially those in underserved or rural areas—accessing capital through traditional channels is often the hardest part of growing and sustaining a company. That’s why we’re eager to invest in entrepreneurs throughout the state through the Nevada New Market Jobs Act, a program specifically designed to support businesses that are ready for the next phase of growth but need flexible, accessible financing to get there.
Closing the Capital Gap
Traditional lenders too often reject hardworking business owners with viable expansion or job creation plans because their operations don’t fit into a conventional credit box. They may be in a low-income area, have a limited operating history, or simply need non-dilutive capital with terms that support—not strain—their growth.
Advantage Capital is helping close that gap. We work with entrepreneurs across the state to provide capital that’s designed to meet their unique needs—whether it’s growth financing, equipment purchases, or facility expansion—backed by a deep commitment to economic development and job creation in Nevada.
A Local Story to Spotlight: Mario’s Westside Market
A recent investment in Mario’s Westside Market in Las Vegas exemplifies the kind of community-driven impact and business success we’re striving to support.
Mario’s is more than just a neighborhood grocery store. It’s a community anchor in the Historic Westside, providing fresh food options in an area long considered a food desert. With financing from Advantage Capital and its partners, made possible through the New Market Jobs Act, Mario’s has been able to expand its operations, create new jobs, and revitalize a critical resource for residents.
Watch the story of Mario’s Westside Market here.
This investment didn’t just fund a store—it supported local hiring, improved food access, and strengthened the foundation for long-term community health and wealth.
