marketplace and business sector (http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/NVhome.html). Rural Development programs that can assist new and expanding businesses in Nye County include the Business and Industries (B & I) loan program, the Rural Business Investment Program, the Biorefinery Assistance Program, and the Rural Energy Assistance Program (REAP). The purpose of the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program is to improve, develop, or finance business, industry, and employment and improve the economic and environmental climate in rural communities. This purpose is achieved by bolstering the existing private credit structure through the guarantee of quality loans which will provide lasting community benefits. It is not intended that the guarantee authority will be used for marginal or substandard loans or for relief of lenders having such loans. The Rural Business Investment Program (RBIP) promotes economic development in mostly rural areas by helping to meet the equity capital investment needs of smaller enterprises located in such areas. USDA licenses newly formed for-profit investment fund entities as Rural Business Investment Company's (RBICs). RBIC’s use the equity raised in capitalizing their fund to make equity, and equity-like, investments mostly in smaller enterprises located primarily in rural areas.
As the call for increased production of homegrown, renewable forms of fuels has grown, so has the need to develop and produce them. USDA Rural Development offers opportunities to producers to development such fuels through the Biorefinery Assistance Program. The program provides loan guarantees for the development, construction, and retrofitting of commercial-scale biorefineries. The REAP Guaranteed Loan Program encourages the commercial financing of renewable energy (bioenergy, geothermal, hydrogen, solar, wind and hydro power) and energy efficiency projects. Under the program, project developers will work with local lenders, who in turn can apply to USDA Rural Development for a loan guarantee up to 85 percent of the loan amount. Detailed information on USDA Rural Development loan programs is available through the Nevada State Office website.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are coordinated by the SBA to encourage small business to explore their technological potential and profit from its commercialization. Each year, eleven federal departments and agencies are required by SBIR to reserve a portion of their Research and Development funds for award to small business and five federal agencies reserve a portion of their funds for the technology transfer program. These agencies assign topics and accept proposals. SBA coordinates the program which involves a three phase competitive grant system to assist small businesses with the start-up and development phases and allows them to compete in development of new technology.
