Resources / Partners
Through the financial support of the State of New Mexico, the US Small Business Administration, the US Defense Logistics Agency and higher education institutions across the state, the NMSBDC is able to help New Mexico small business owners at no charge, which means many New Mexico residents who would otherwise be unable to afford this valuable assistance are able to access the professional expertise they need to compete and win.
