The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED), in collaboration with GROW Nebraska Foundation, is pleased to announce the statewide availability of the Nebraska Small Business Assistance Act (NSBAA) Program.

The purpose of the program is to support individuals looking to start a small business or seeking to expand a small business they opened within the past five years.

Under the program, a small business is defined as a business with no more than five full-time equivalent employees based on hours worked (not including the business owner).

The NSBAA Program provides two benefits to qualified individuals:

1. Funding to access professional services: These include services such as strategic planning, accounting and budgeting, tax return preparation, payroll processes, website development, or assistance setting up an LLC
2. Grants for both new businesses and existing businesses: Grant funding can be used for eligible business purposes including, but not limited to: startup costs, working capital, franchise fees, equipment, inventory, or purchase/renovation of a place of business.

• Applicants for a new business grant could receive up to a $25,000 grant.
• Applicants for an existing business grant could receive up to a $12,500 grant.
