NM Small Business Assistance program enables Sandia National
Laboratories to provide technical and certain types of business
assistance to New Mexico's small businesses to help retain and expand
current business and technology opportunities.

**Enhancing the state's economy by helping small companies**

-   Sandia's assistance is **rendered at no cost** to the small business

-   Assistance can help New Mexico small business owners resolve
    short-term technology problems or business issues

-   A "small business" is generally defined as employing 500 employees
    or less.

How It Works

-   For businesses in Bernalillo County, Sandia's services are capped at
    **\$5,000**

-   For businesses outside Bernalillo County, Sandia's services are
    capped at **\$10,000** (to enhance rural economic development).

#### Everyone in New Mexico Benefits

#### Qualify Without "Red Tape"

To qualify, small businesses must certify that Sandia's assistance is
[not]{.underline} available at reasonable cost through private sources.
*That's it!*
