Nevada’s small businesses are the backbone of the state’s economy, driving innovation, creating jobs, and fostering community development. Yet, many entrepreneurs face significant challenges in accessing the capital needed to expand operations, hire employees, and invest in their communities.
The Nevada New Market Jobs Act (NMJA) offers a strategic solution, providing financial incentives to stimulate private investment in underserved areas. At Advantage Capital, we are proud to partner with Nevada businesses through this impactful program, delivering flexible capital to growth-ready companies poised to make a difference.
Increasing Access to Flexible Financing
For business owners, the program and Advantage Capital’s approach simply translates to affordable, patient capital that can be used for:
- Facility expansion or equipment purchases
- Hiring and training new employees
- Launching new product lines or entering new markets
- Strengthening supply chains or operational infrastructure
Note: This is not just funding—it’s fuel for long-term success.
Advantage Capital’s Commitment
Advantage Capital specializes in supporting small businesses in overlooked areas. Through the NMJA and federal New Markets Tax Credit programs, we have invested more than $220 million in Nevada businesses, providing both equity and debt financing to established and emerging companies looking to expand, create quality jobs, and spur economic growth in their communities.
The investment approach is not just about providing capital; it’s about building lasting partnerships with entrepreneurs committed to making a positive impact in their communities.
Real-World Impact: Success Stories from Nevada
Our work in Nevada has already demonstrated the transformative power of intentional investing:
- Power Gen Components: A Las Vegas-based manufacturer, Power Gen received a total of $15.9 million investment from Advantage Capital, enabling the company to purchase inventory and retain employees. Ultimately, our investments supported equipment purchases and the addition of good-paying jobs within the community.
- Mario’s Westside Market: Located in Las Vegas’ historic Westside, Mario’s was seeking funding to expand its footprint and inventory. Advantage Capital initially invested $2.5 million to support this important Westside retailer’s growth. Mario’s has been able to retain employees while planning to add a dozen more employment opportunities in the area.
These examples illustrate how strategic investments can catalyze business growth, near- mid- and long-term.
