LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – North Las Vegas opens the first of its kind Small Business Connector to help businesses get started and expand.
The center, located in North Las Vegas City Hall, will enable companies to obtain a license, register with the Secretary of State, meet urban development officials, and apply for permits – all in one place.
A ribbon cut is scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. at 2250 Las Vegas Blvd. N.
“By bringing a variety of resources under one roof, we’re making it even easier for small businesses to thrive in North Las Vegas,” said Mayor John Lee. “Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and will drive the post-pandemic recovery of Southern Nevada.”
NLV Connector partners include UNLV’s Small Business Development Center, which provides business owners with free expertise on how to start and grow a business; Access Community Capital, which provides low-cost corporate loans to small business owners and start-up entrepreneurs with an emphasis on women, veterans and minority-owned executives; and the Employ NV Business Hub, which connects job seekers and employers and supports expanding companies with in-service training for new hires.
Lee will be at the ceremony. Other guests include Jaime Cruz, Executive Director of Workforce Connections, Nic Steele, Executive Director of Access Community Capital, and Amanda Payan, owner of North 5th Brewing Co.
