New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program
The New Mexico Small Business Assistance (NMSBA) Program offers assistance to New Mexico small businesses. Businesses with a technical challenge that requires national laboratory expertise can seek assistance from scientists or engineers at Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. Such projects include testing, design consultation, and access to special equipment or facilities.
Small businesses located in Bernalillo County can receive up to $10,000 in technical assistance per year, while businesses in a New Mexico rural county can receive up to $20,000. The small businesses must be for-profit, located in New Mexico, US owned and operated, and pay gross receipts tax to the State of New Mexico.
NMSBA offers assistance to individual companies on a year-round basis. Leveraged projects allow a group of small businesses that share technical challenges to request assistance collectively. Proposals for leveraged projects are reviewed once a year. Projects are funded on a calendar year.
Small businesses can participate in the NMSBA Program through three different types of assistance
